The benifits of the Catholic school education, or any parochial or other private school for that matter, have long been known. It's a simple math formula. Smaller classes + higher discipline + more parental involvement = better schools for both students and teachers.
The number of Catholic schools closing their doors permanently has been alarmingly high. However, there is evidence that Catholic schools are making a comeback. Though the number of wealthy investors have been shrinking, more and more dioceses are focusing on stewardship, and more families in total are investing and making donations.
Between this, the idea of free tuition at community colleges for laid off workers, and the idea that more college students and "second-career" teachers will enter the workforce for the job security, the future of the education world is looking to be a bright spot in dark times.
