[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could tell her that you don’t entrust Catholics with your children’s well-being and see how the parents like that…

I’m not serious but it’s baffling to me that parents can feel high and mighty about a choice like that. It may be a superior education in certain ways but there’s a moral price to pay for everyone involved after decades of systematic child abuse[/quote]

It’s likely that the parents told their child that catholic school is better and not everyone can afford it. But you never know. It could be that the kid overhead her parents. It could be that another kid from catholic told her this. It could be that the kid was unwilling to change schools and this was the story to convince her to go. This is going to be a constant refrain. My kids are in private and have many friends in public. We navigate it the best we can, but there’s always some tension around the notion of “what, is public not good enough?”. My friends with kids in both public and private are the best at understanding this. There is a similar tension between families who send their kids to the local private and families who send their kids to boarding school - “what, is private school xxx not good enough for you?”. Just move on.[/quote]
