As I was in Catechism during the transitional period, I was fortunate to learn about Church law (of which my kids learned almost nothing from their CCD classes), back when the school required the students to study the answers to a long list of questions about our faith prior to receiving the sacraments of confession, communion, and confirmation.  But it was also the time when we started singing songs like "Eat his body, drink his blood, as we sing a song of love...." and doing crafts.

Dare I say, my kids get enough "be nice" teaching in public school, which, frankly, my kids don't need to hear because they learned that at home.

I just got home from mass today and heard another homily about being nice and at the end the priest thanking the parents for bringing their children to church.  "Be nice" is fine, but, boy, the depth and obligation of being a disciple of Christ is far beyond that.  And if you think differently, then you might as well call public schools Catholic schools.
