[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can give you a two-generation point of view.  I grew up in Fairfax County (Spring Hill - Cooper - Langley pyramid) and went to Catholic school 1st-8th grades.  My parents chose this because they felt it was a superior way to transmit the faith, when compared to CCD.  I have to agree with them b/c I still have a solid grounding my faith and I see those around me who went to CCD falling away.  While I could have gotten an equally excellent education (and I was either the same, or ahead of my public school classmates when I joined them during the high school years, at Langley, and racked up numerous academic awards and then went on to the London School of Economics), I could not have gotten the solid and deep understanding of the Catholic faith, its history, etc.

Now, I am doing the same for my children.   We too live in Fairfax County and I send my kids to Catholic parochial.  I keep up with what is going on in the public school curriculum and feel that they are getting the same opportunities.  Regardless of where I sent them, however, I also would make the choice to supplement with foreign language and science enrichment, which we do.  (My children are in 1st and K.) [/quote][/quote]
