Catholic Schools Then and Now, by author Mary Reardon, is rich with detail on how today's Catholic schools operate, who's running them, what's being taught, and what materials are being used. It's a book that's meant to capture the look and feel of the schools, and to report on what it's like to be in a Catholic classroom in our day. With a focus on the northern tier of states form Maryland and Pennsylvania to Wisconsin and Minnesota, this book illustrates the range of what the word Catholic now means, through the different flavors of some of American's nearly 8,000 Catholic schools. Paperback, 200 pages, 8.5 x 5.7 in..
