Dear Editor: The Tablet’s article commenting on the report Catholic On the Inside: Putting Values Back at the Center of Education Reform (“Catholic Schools’ Secret to Success,” Dec. 28, 2019 – Jan. 4, 2020), solidifies the impact that Catholic school education has on the current day society. Be it on the elementary, high school or college level, it is priceless.

Furthermore, the writer emphasizes the values, culture and beliefs that can serve the students long after they graduate. These significant signs will remain with them forever.

Needless to say, our society today is starving for an indelible mark that will improve young lives immensely. I believe that it can be done with the proper education outlined by the report.
