Self-Taught Wisdom

John C. Chalberg in Crisis reviews God and Man at Georgetown Prep: How I Became a Catholic Despite Twenty Years of Catholic Schooling by Mark Gauvreau Judge
As for Georgetown Prep, the usual suspects are all there: the loopy sex educators, the trendy Jebbies, the nutty New Ageism, and the drinking, always the drinking. If sex was an occasional pastime, alcohol was a permanent companion. Not that Prep was a total disaster area. When it came to subjects like English, history, and math, Judge concedes that his teachers were not just good, but generally superior to any he would have in college. It's just that Prep failed miserably when it came to nurturing the spiritual lives of its charges.

    (Ok, I'm joking.)
