[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We Catholics have a long list of reasons for sending our sons and daughters to Catholic schools. We want an environment that will reinforce our values and our kids connection to the Church and the local Catholic community. We have life-long connections to Catholic education and to individual schools. Catholic schools are an important part of us maintaining our community and culture.

These motivations are significantly different from those of [b]non-Catholics who see as lower-cost alternatives to the public schools[/b]. And that you hope to escape with your kids being exposed to as little of that yucky Catholic teaching and culture as possible.

We aren’t stupid. If you are there, we know why. And we know your motives are vastly different from ours. Not everyone feels this way. But many do.

Do you assume everyone from public is not Catholic? How do you know?

At our Catholic HS, we have not run into your brand of judgement.

DP. You have reading comprehension issues. The PP did not make that assumption.[/quote]

That’s why I asked. How would the PP know if a student from a public school is Catholic or not? There’s no secret handshake, you know.

No, lol. I’m not the PP, but as a Catholic also, I only ask that non-Catholics respect the Catholic traditions and teachings of the Catholic school they send their kids to. Don’t complain and gripe about the Catholic teachings at the school because you voluntarily signed up for it. I’m friends with families of different religions (inside and outside of school), I see value in all religions. But if you voluntarily attend a Catholic organization, you need to respect its value system.[/quote]

Are you even in a school? Do you have kids currently in attendance? You seem to have no insights on any of these schools. Why are you here? [/quote]

NP. Catholics subsidize Catholic education through their financial support of the Church. They can express an opinion even if they don’t have kids right at this moment in a school. Calm down.[/quote]

Actually this thread is about high schools. High schools by and large are not associated with specific parishes. So your support for your parish doesn't impact any of the high schools in the DMV. Of course, this doesn't mean you can't have an opinion.[/quote]
