Audio and summary
What American education needs but is gone for good is 100,000 nuns.
I was blessed to have women who worked for God as my teachers in the 60s. I didn’t miss a day of class due to teacher strikes and only had one snow day because the convent was right next door to the school.
I could actually even read and write when I got out and don’t ever remember active shooter drills!
Thank you sisters Jean, Donna, Seaton, Pascal, Joanne, Berninta Marie, and Catherine. I hope to thank you in person someday if God permits me to join you.
I remember those days, also had Christian brothers in high school.
Do you remember the Hydrogen Bomb drills when we had to crawl under our desks? Those desks are worth a fortune now considering it can save your life from a 20 megaton explosion. Quality built long gone now!!
