[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you with kids in big co-ed Catholic schools—how do you see them as different from public schools? Assuming both have large student bodies and offer the same kinds of activities, and your child is doing great academically either way… why choose the private (and pricey) route if you're not specifically seeking a religious focus? What do you feel you get from it?

I have a graduate and two in Diocesan high school.  There doesn’t seem to be a lot (or any?) of social Justice stuff eating into class time.  No walk outs, no demonstrations etc.  I’m 100% sure kids’ opinions vary on this stuff having overheard snippets of conversations over the years but politics doesn’t seem to enter too large into the equation.  They’ve been able to enjoy being a teenager without it being ruined by divisive political stances.  Well behaved (imperfect but within the bounds of typical teen behavior) kids, great academic offerings for different abilities.  Sports, clubs etc.  Plenty of neighborhood friends at the unwieldy, large public who seem to have managed just fine too.  But the experiences were def different.[/quote]
