In my experience, parishes still have over-site of students who are home schooled for religious education. They are actually held to a higher standard because their knowledge is tested.

What is crazy is that my children are not tested. There is parish over site, like we have to go to the retreats and a few classes the faith formation kiddos have to go to, but no one will TEST my children because they donтАЩt TEST the faith formation kiddos. They agree it isnтАЩt fair, but I honestly wish they would. IтАЩd love to have all the kids tested before receiving, even if it is just explaining simply what the Eucharist is.
Yeah. The whole reason for waiting until 7 to receive Holy Communion is that the Latin tradition puts an emphasis on understanding Who we receive. Taking up a desk in a classroom doesn't ensure that.
I feel this way about baptism classes (sorry I have mentioned it before in the comments here but it is a big pet peeve of mine)- first, give us a 10 or 20 minute quiz about baptism, and certain results trigger a meeting with the deacon/priest or attendance of the class, and certain results trigger a result of тАЬokay letтАЩs schedule your childтАЩs baptism.тАЭ
