The Latest Excuse

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

it’s the charter schools that are bringing down the Catholic school system! But even so there’s no need to worry: “The Archdiocese of New York has now regionalized its school system to assure a vibrant future for Catholic education, and has seen dramatic growth in its early childhood programs, adding 2,300 new students in the past year.” It seems, however, that Orthodox Jews aren’t experiencing the same difficulties as the Catholics: “In another development, enrollment at Jewish schools has surpassed those attending Catholic schools for the first time in the city’s history. A surge in the Orthodox Jewish population has caused the number of students attending yeshivas to soar from 73,254 a decade ago to 94,589 last year.”
