One of the things that has been occupying my time lately is a travelling program we're having at my school in March. It's called Challenge Day. It's quite expensive (of course), and it's being touted as the best thing to have ever come down the pike. The video introduction to the program called to my mind tent revivals in the South, complete with tears, hands in the air, and other signs of emotional breakdown.
It seems to me that those children would have been better off going to confession.
I don't know how many readers we have who are in the education business, but I'd appreciate hearing the reaction of somebody who has witnessed this program first-hand before I start recommending students to stay home that day.
