[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is an atheist and had a great education at a Catholic MS and HS. [b]The teachers are just happy to have a lively debate[/b] and that’s what he gave them. He always got good grades in religion and even got a letter of rec for college from one of the brothers. [/quote]

Huh. So your kid's Catholic schools are actually not providing a Catholic education?[/quote]

Of course they are but they aren’t trying to convert anyone. [b]There are plenty of non-Catholics in Catholic schools[/b] and there is zero expectation that they believe or become Catholic. The brothers at his HS are all very well educated and appreciate good debates. He’s at a Jesuit university now and his favorite classes are with priests and nuns. There aren’t many of them left sadly. I remember being shocked when I was assigned to read The Handmaid’s Tale back in the day at my Jesuit university. That lead to some incredible discussions and debates. That’s what education is about. Nobody is trying to force anyone to believe anything they don’t want to. [/quote]

My father went to an all-boys Catholic school when he was growing  up.  He said the top 3 were students (valedictorian) were always Jewish.  Top education at a lower price than traditional private school. [/quote]
