82. New Catholic Dictionary: Boston Capital of massachusetts. Few of the early Irish emigrants to Boston were Catholics, Catholics established a parochial school about this date. http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/ncd01385.htm

Boston Capital of Massachusetts. Few of the early Irish emigrants to Boston were Catholics, as they were unwilling to settle in a Puritan colony. Traces of the Catholic Church are found as early as September , when a ship was in port having two priests on board, who were the guests of the governor. Father Druillettes visited Boston, , to discuss with General Gibbons details of a trading pact and alliance with the Canadian French against the Iroquois; it is surmised that he said Mass at the governor's home. The " Weekly Rehearsal 20 March , announces: "We hear that Mass has been performed in town this winter by an Irish priest among some Catholics of his own nation, of whom it is not doubted we have a considerable number among us." During the French and Indian War , 100 French Catholics were arrested in Boston "to prevent any danger the town may be in," but the sheriff refused to hold them. The Boston " Town Records " admitted that toleration in religion was desirable, but excluded "Roman Catholics" because their belief was "subversive of society." A favorite New England diversion was a procession on 5 November of the pope and the devil, in celebration of the "Gunpowder Plot," usually attended by riot. In

The Sisters begin girls' classes right away at the parochial school at St. Mary Convent on Barrington Street (at Spring Garden).They also begin to take in orphans.

MaySt. Patrick School, Brunswick Street, opens in church basement. St. Patrick Convent established soon after. AprilSisters nurse new immigrants who are quarantined on McNab's Island with cholera. The NS government endorses the teaching at St. Mary School by making it a public school. This means students no longer have to pay tuition. St. Joseph Orphanage opens on Quinpool Road (operated for 101 years). Foundation laid for Mount Saint Vincenta new building in Rockingham. With several additions over the years, this building would house MSV Academy (1873-1972), MSV College, student and Sister residences, as well as the Congregational administration.

Massachusetts Department of Education "progress report" inflates MCAS "pass rates" for the Class of 2004 June 8, 2004 Anne Wheelock, Senior Research Associate Progress Through the Education Pipeline Boston College The Massachusetts Department of Education's "MCAS progress report," posted on June 7, 2004 at http://www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/2004/results/0604cdprogrpt.pdf , reports 96% of the class of 2004 has passed MCAS and will graduate this spring. Because passing MCAS has been required for high school graduation for the classes of 2003 and 2004, MCAS "pass rates" for these classes also represent graduation rates for Massachusetts. (Starting with the class of 2005, according to the state's application for No Child Left Behind funding, Massachusetts will be required to report the graduation rates based on the number of graduates divided by ninth grade enrollment four years earlier.) Enrollment figures show that 18,232 students were lost from the class of 2004 between their enrollment in Grade 9 in october 2000 and the spring of 2004. This represents 23% of the class of 2004. When all original members of the class of 2004 not just "survivors are included in the count, the MCAS "pass rate" for the all of the Class of 2004 is 74%, not 96%. Pass rates for African American and Latino students are 15 and 20 percentage points lower, respectively.

BPS in the News Mayor, School Committee Chair and Superintendent ask State Board of Education to reject proposal for including MCAS scores on student transcripts March 11, 2002 You may dowload a Word version of this for easy printing. James A. Peyser Chairman Massachusetts Board of Education State House, Room 271M Boston, MA 02133 Dear Mr. Peyser: We are writing to express our opposition to a proposal that would add students' MCAS scores and performance levels to their high school transcripts. As you know, we have been outspoken supporters of the MCAS as a critical component of standards-based education reform. It is our view, however, that including students' MCAS results on their permanent records may place many Massachusetts public school students at a disadvantage when applying for higher education, scholarships or employment. Here in Massachusetts, we have begun to raise awareness about the effectiveness of MCAS exams as an objective measure of student learning. However, this indicator is specific to our state and may not be understood by college admissions officers and employers in other parts of the country. To include students' scores without providing the necessary context about the scores' meaning would be irresponsible and possibly harmful. If all applicants were assessed on the same indicators, perhaps the playing field would be more level, but how would one compare the performance levels on the MCAS with those on the statewide tests administered, for example, in Texas or New York? Moreover, this additional indicator would be used to assess only public school students, which may render their applications less favorable than those of private or parochial school students who are not required to take the tests. We fear this disparity may be particularly detrimental to public school students from urban areas with higher percentages of low-income families and students in bilingual and special education programs.

MHLA Projects Court Rulings on Home Education in Massachusetts: Overview Care and Protection of Charles (1987): Four things that school officials can (not must) ask homeschooling parents to provide: an educational plan information about the parents’ qualifications a review of texts, but only to determine the type of subjects taught and the grade level of the child information on academic progress Brunelle (1998) : School officials may not mandate home visits as a condition of approval. While the State can insist that the child's education be moved along in a way which can be objectively measured, it cannot apply institutional standards to this non-institutionalized setting. We urge you to become thoroughly familiar with Charles and Brunelle, to know their provisions and language. Charles mentions that there are certain areas of inquiry or supervision that are not "within the legitimate authority" of the school district; other matters are not mentioned in Charles at all. We also strongly suggest that you read between the lines to discover what is NOT included. Occasionally a school district may mistakenly ask for information that is not required. While the following should not be taken as a substitute for legal advice, we suggest that you reflect on these perspectives as you read the full text of the Court's decisions.

The Gurnett Property of 660 acres purchased from Mrs. Mae Gurnett in 1946 is the place in Kingston, Massachusetts where it all began. And today it is still the place from which most of the educational endeavors of the Sisters eminate. Camp Mishannock for girls was the first ministry undertaken. From a small group of 40 in 1947, to a much larger group today with an international contingent of counselors and campers the summer work of education continues. A safe, tranquil woodland place for personal and social growth, the Camp provides learning experiences in land and water sports, the opportunity to share cultures with campers and counselors from other countries, to develop self-confidence and leadership skills. This ministry resonates with the Community's charism of teaching and nurturing young girls. Sisters Ella Jean Bruen and Jacqueline Meyer are co-directors of the camp, which is just five miles from the Atlantic Ocean.
