The Catholic schools have traditionally emphasized discipline and good morals. It's a little more difficult for the public schools because they don't have the luxury of expelling their problem students.
Moral standards are taught at home, regardless of one's religious beliefs or education. My husband went to Catholic all the way from kindergarten through high school. The first time I went to one of his reunions, there was one woman who was so rude and judgmental I had to walk away so as not to stoop to her level of rudeness. I also told my husband and his friends to keep her away from for the rest of the reunion.
I started in Catholic school.My parents pulled my brothers and I out of there after a few years because there was bullying, and frankly some of the nuns were just nuts.
Moral standards aren't decided by school. What is moral standards anyway? They are decided by the group of people you spend your time around. They aren't a legal aspect, which is also why there easily get heated debates when discussing morality.
I shouldn't think so. Two of my grandkids are attending Catholic schools but they'll get their morals from their parents.
Looking back at the people I've met over a lifetime -- Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims and unbelievers -- I couldn't say that any one group is more moral than the others.
Your question (and I assume you were tongue-in-cheek when you asked it) supposes a religion which offers the reward of Heaven for people who are "moral" and the punishment of Hell for those who are not, produces better citizens than we who are moral because it's the decent thing to do.
I'm sure the Spanish inquisition was considered at the height of morality at the time ..... Two things to take away from this The first being that morals are a product of time and place ... and secondly that no one has the high moral ground
