Interestingly, that's one of the issues with private schools (many of which are religious)- the teachers are okay, but nothing great, because they don't have to continue their education or learn about new teaching methods. Public school teachers are required to continue their education (at their own expense) if they are to maintain their certification. At the non-profit I worked at, we offered some continuing education programs for teachers a few times every year. I hated them, because they were always on holidays (because no school) so I had to work holidays, but then again, at least I was paid to be there on a holiday, while the teachers attending were paying to be there on their days off.

Also I'd say a 1/3 of the students attending Loyola were not Catholic and theology was not a mandatory class. In fact I was enrolled in an integrated science program freshman and sophomore year where Chemistry, Physics and Biology I and II were all taught in a 2-period class and those in the program did not take theology.

And LA became co-ed to accommodate girls after Marilac HS an all-girls HS closed. At least when I was there we had far more minorities and low income kids than GBS did. And they were fellow Ramblers not minorities to us!

First week of freshman year we were herded into the auditorium, all 500 or so of us with seating for only 400-450. We were then told at the beginning of Sophomore year there would be seats for everyone and to look around at the students standing and decide whether you're here or not will depend on how much work you're willing to do. Effort was judged more than results and the first 2 years seemed more like you were in the military rather than HS. However once you began Jr. year you were treated more as an adult than a student responsible for underclassmen's actions and any assistance they may need. You really developed a feeling of being a family and it truly was one of the best experiences of my life. Funny but when I run into a fellow LA alum to this day no matter how many years apart you still get the feeling you're meeting a distant family member. Teachers, parents and fellow students truly cared about each other and for a kid coming from a home whose father didn't give 2 shiats about you it was enlightening for sure. Can you tell I appreciate my Mom's decision to send me there regardless of what I wanted. (I wanted to go to GBS)

Resentenced from 'Life' in prison to 'Natural Life' in prison. Brilliant! WTF, were they planning on keeping him locked up after his natural life was over? What a waste of taxpayer money and the court's time. Meanwhile 5 dead 31 wounded in Chicago shootings over this past weekend. Not a peep from Jesse & Co. and no riots! http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...503-story.html
