In Bethlehem there are now two clans. The Morganelli group with it members and the Callahan clan with its members.<br /><br />There are little circles within but that is it. People can and do run independently and usually go down in flames. The money and organization comes from one of those two camps.<br /><br />You don't have to tell someone to run when clearly recruiting someone to run from your camp.<br /><br />You just don't get Bethlehem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-51482506174773906802015-02-18T21:22:03.676-05:002015-02-18T21:22:03.676-05:00Irrelevant...Irrelevant...Louie Denaldonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-89845459175261628862015-02-18T20:50:18.880-05:002015-02-18T20:50:18.880-05:00Many people who teach in public school send their ...Many people who teach in public school send their children to private schools. It is not a matter of thinking your kid is too god for public school. inmost cases, it is a big financial sacrifice because they are still paying taxes that send your children to school. There are numerous reasons to support Catholic schools. Some of us believe that it is important to have a child in an environment where religion matters and moral beliefs are discussed. This did not help me, but it has helped many people. If your child is exceptionally gifted or mentally disabled, he is better off in a public school bc they have advanced classes and many programs for the mentally challenged that Catholic schools lack. And kids in catholic schools are going to still have all the same problems that you'll see in a public school, except for one. They tend not to fight as much. If your child is college bound, he probably also has a bit of an edge after going through Catholic school. <br /><br />Some of it is also the kids themselves. My grandson, for example, loves Becahi and has wanted to go there since he was in the Fourth Grade. <br /><br />If one of the parents is a teacher, that might be another reason to send a child to the catholic school so as to avoid any appearance of favoritism. <br /><br />I know kids in both schools and they are mostly great kids. It is parents like you who are the assholes.
