[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a non Catholic want to go to a catholic school when there are plenty of public and non Catholic privates![/quote]

That would be my question too. The Catholic nature of this environment goes far beyond the Religion classes and Masses.[/quote]

I don’t get it either. I know a Jewish family who sends their kids to a Presbyterian school and plans to send at least one to Catholic school after. I’d like to know how they explain the religious aspects of these schools to their kids. [/quote]

You remind them of their faith and explain that you think that the education is worth sitting and listening and being respectful of other people's faith.  Not really that hard.  [/quote]

But if you leave out the Catholic religion stuff, the "education" isn't all that much different than what it would be other places. Algebra is still Algebra no matter where you go.

What may be harder is the homogeneity of thought among the great majority. Many of thee people live in a somewhat isolated social world. They are interested only in hanging out with the boys from their brother schools, Gonzaga and Georgetown. Their families vacation in the same places and belong to the same clubs.

When the conversation might slip into the problems or challenges of the Catholic church, this is an argument inside the family. Outsiders would be well advised to hold their tongues.  [/quote]

Eh  Many Visi girls date StA boys.  :P [/quote]

Dating? What’s that and how does that fit into “Hanging out in groups”, “texting” and “hooking up”.[/quote]
