[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in an area where most of our friends and neighbors go to our local public school, at least for elementary school.  We have had mixed feelings about the school since COVID (started kindergarten during covid) and have decided to move our two older children to our local parochial school.  I feel weird telling our neighbors/friends because I don't want them to think we have bad feelings toward our public school, it just isn't a good fit for our kids right now.  Also DH and I are big proponents of public school, both of us going to public school before college, and are having mixed feelings about having to send our kids to private school. Any thoughts on how to reconcile these feelings? [/quote]

Grow up.
No one cares where your kid goes to school.
If you want to waste your money that is your business. You want your kid going to a religious private where Science and math are of lower quality than public, especially in upper grades, and teaches a religion that supports a church that protects child abusers. Again your choice. And you give money to a place that has Billions in the bank. Again all free choices your free choices currently in the United States of America.[/quote]

DP. Oh, the irony in this post.

Clearly YOU care where others send their children. If you didn’t care, then you wouldn’t feel the need to spout off your rude opinions.

OP, Be grateful you have this opportunity and don’t worry about the opinions of others. Opinions are so often born out of ignorance, kind of like PP’s statement about lower-quality math and science.

LOL check the other thread about Catholic schools SAT scores and how the parents defend indoctrination over a strong education.

If religion is taught at a school the way Catholic schools teach it, ie anything that has to do with abortion then Science is lacking.
That is a fact. We all know how the church feels about women's bodies.

Religion doesn’t play a part in AP Physics, AP Chem, AP Bio, AP Stats, AP Calc BC, etc. I’m fairly confident my 12th grader is learning math and science. These classes got her accepted into 100% of the colleges she applied to and I know she’s prepared.

As for religion, she has been taking World Religions this year and learning about Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. She just wrote a massive paper about one of them, which incorporated a field trip to a mosque.

So you can keep spouting off anti-Catholic rhetoric. Those of us with actual experience aren’t going to believe it. And posters here who may be considering Catholic schools will be reading about our real experiences versus your perceived judgments.[/quote]
