My mother pulled me out of Catholic schools in the seventh grade because not enough of the sisters were wonderful.  I had two in six years that had a clue on how to handle a classroom of fifty kids, the rest relied on shame and emotional abuse and a few times physical abuse....just like mothers who had the biggest families, the often praised 10-12 range in kids.  It truly does take a tribe to raise children, not sisters and not overworked mothers.  

Now a days there are very few extended families to help with all the kids and no Catholic school has 50 kids in a classroom.  Society has changed dramatically.  I keep wondering when the Church will leave the 1950's and recognize the change.
