About this sermon
Enrollment boomed and so did test scores for many Catholic schools that kept their doors open during the coronavirus pandemic. The report card was not the same across the board. This week the National Assessment of Educational Progress revealed that math grades among 4th and 8th graders fell in nearly every state, and reading dipped on the national exam. For many, the news is confirmation that closed-door school policies during the pandemic hurt millions of students. Superintendent of Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Boston, Thomas Carroll, discusses his reaction to the national assessment and whether it came as a surprise. He explains how students at Boston Catholic Schools are faring academically. Carroll along with other Catholic school leaders took the road less traveled during the pandemic. He takes us through the day he decided that Catholic schools in Boston would keep their doors open and what went into that decision. Carroll shares what his COVID numbers were like through all of the pandemic and whether the kids stayed healthy. The superintendent fills us in on what he thinks we have to learn from all of this.
