Reasons why we don’t want to be like the Catholic schools:
1. Many of the Catholic schools have endowments.
2. Most of the Catholic schools are going broke anyways.
3. The Catholic schools are usually co-ed, and try to get non-Catholic students. If we wanted goyim in our schools, it would be easier to get funding. That’s also the problem with
a Jewish charter school since a public school can’t discriminate in admissions. In truth if we set up a multi-cultural, multi-religious school with a joint secular curriculum and separate religious curricula for each group, we probably could get funding for the secular part.
4. The religious part of the curriculum is small (perhaps an extra subject or two), whereas
the religious part of our curriculum is typically 60% of the day, and sometimes much more. If we wanted to run what is basically a public school with one or two periods of Jewish subjects, it would be much cheaper.
