[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally disingenuous. Catholic school is Catholic school. Good or bad it's still Catholic school with Catholic values, thoughts, etc.  [b]By[/b] [b]default putting your kid or kids there and saying it doesn't effect my family is not truthful. Of course it does. [/b]

I'm not bashing Catholic school this would be the same if someone chose any other private religious school.  There is a part of you that is ok with the teachings of religion at that school otherwise you would not be paying to send your kid there. [/quote]

Disingenuous? PP seems clear on the lessons her kids are learning and never said she does not want her kids exposed to religion.

How does having non-Catholics in a class affect your family? Have you taken your concerns to your school’s principal or the archdiocese? [/quote]

There’s an expectation on the part of some, many or even most Catholics that when they send their children to Catholic schools that they have their faith reinforced, not just in Religion class, but in all areas of their experience at school. And that going to this school helps build the Catholic community. The presence of non-Catholics dilutes that experience.

Kids that are deprogrammed at home talk to their classmates.

We get that you want to hitch-hike along on the Catholic schools because you don’t like you public choice and you don’t want to pay for the secular alternative.

No one needs to talk to their priest. The administration of the school knows that they dare not go beyond a certain point admitting non-Catholics and this varies by parish. They don’t want the parishioners to arrive at the conclusion that theirs really isn’t a Catholic school at all, but rather just a discount private school supported in part by the parish and or archdiocese.[/quote]

:roll:

Please stop pretending to speak to the beliefs of many or most Catholic parents at a school. You sound downright nuts. [/quote]
