Comment on Les Misérables proves to be anything but miserable by rachel_dodson

Let me just say, that the play hoban put on was amazing. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The talent was unexpected, and I was very pleased with the outcome of the show. As one of my favorite plays of all time, Hoban showed one amazing performance of Les Misérables.

Marilyn “Mama” Stripe is an amazing lady, her love for Hoban and the students is apparent within minutes of first meeting her. What a beautiful tribute to her!

Comment on Senior work load should be lightened by Tony Richiutti

Considering most things, yours is a nice, well supported contention.

How about some point / counter-point?

I wonder if your position would change if YOU were signing the tuition check and not someone else. I would have shared your position on “Senior Slide” during my time at Hoban. Now, I am not so sure it is the best opinion to hold.

The privilege is not in sliding out the door; it exists while walking those sacred hallways and coming out miles ahead of the competition. “Sliding by” is a life style, not a privilege.

The value is something your will realize once you understand the purpose behind the last quarter push. Hoban is a “No Slide Zone”, lucky you!

Comment on Matthew Kelly creates fiasco in front of entire student body by chris

Mr. Kelly did this same thing to my son last week-after losing the attention of many students, even to where there were kids punching each other in the first row-he single out one kid and kicked him out-no moving him to another seat or asking for the audiences attention. Not making excuses for my son-but there was a teacher sitting right behind him that didn’t even notice him talking and 2 other teachers that felt it was completely inappropriate. sounds like a motivational speacher’s way of gaining crowd control through public humiliation.

Comment on Gays should also be included in the celebration of diversity by Trish

Following the church teaching–since high school students are single they should be celibate –whether heterosexual, homosexual and there are those who may truly not know or be identified as anything. I am not sure what the policy is. However, it does seem that someone could be allowed to bring a friend of the same sex to just simply enjoy the activity without being left out. The comment about a friend from another school confused me. Not sure where the line is drawn. Girls have been dancing with each other forever as they tend to learn to dance and enjoy dancing often more than boys.
Strangely many of the Catholic schools seemed to be so strict on things–that some students were denied an opportunity to go the prom alone if they wanted. Whereas in many public schools they were doing just that.

I would highly recommend to anyone if they are by the Akron/Canton Airport to go to MAPS and see Kim’s work. I have been fortunate to see the plane transform to what it is today. Kim and his team put many days and hours into the restoration. It is well worth the visit.

Janice your reply which outlined the Church’s teaching on homosexuality was eloquently presented. LIke any single, unmarried person gays are called to celibacy. A Catholic school cannot in good conscience go against the teachings of the Church by promoting same sex dating. If they were to do so they would lose Catholics and the school would become heretical.

The Church is called to evangilization hence those non-Catholic students attending Hoban are hoped to convert to the Church after exposure to its teachings. The Church will ever “change with the times” as its mission is timeless Truth not assimilation to current fads or societal “progression.”

Marriage is defined as a covenant between a man and a woman- the first being Adam & Eve; the two become one flesh in Christ. Gay marriage is an oxymoron in light of its original biblical meaning.
