    In the early Republic, no simple distinction between public and private schools existed. With the advent of the common school, a system of government-sponsored schools emerged. Hostility to nonpublic schools, especially Catholic ones, developed because of the fear that they would undermine the foundation of civil and political order. This hostility has historically been expressed through regulation and denial of funding. Currently, private schools are experiencing a more favorable public attitude because of a widespread disillusionment with public schools. The future of private schools depends on how faithfully they express a distinctive and worthy character to their institutions

    Hay una extendida preocupación actualmente en los Estados Unidos en relación con el debilitamiento de las estructuras familiares tradicionales y el continuo aumento de las familias monoparentales, particularmente, pero no de modo exclusivo, entre las de orígenes afroamericanos. A pesar de los intentos que realizan ciertos círculos por presentar este creciente tipo de estructura familiar como el desarrollo de nuevos «estilos de vida alternativos igualmente válidos», existe la fuerte evidencia de que, en realidad, causan un importante daño a los niños y adolescentes. El sistema educativo puede ayudar a robustecer las familias si: a) presenta el compromiso matrimonial desde una perspectiva más positiva de como hoy lo está haciendo; b) respeta el derecho de los padres para tomar decisiones sobre la elección de la escuela de sus hijos, y c) anima a establecer lazos de unión sólidos entre la familia y la escuela
