[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholics send their children to Catholic schools for a number of reasons. High on most people’s list is the school reinforcing the teaching of the Church as the parents understand them. Many also want their kids to be part of the Catholic community with its traditions and values.

It seems that there are a sizeable number of non-Catholics who are concerned about the public schools but who are not interested in or able to pay the high tuitions of secular private schools.

To these people, the Catholic schools look like a potential solution. But they are offput by some of the teachings of the Church and the beliefs and values of some of the Catholic families. Talk about “eating your cake and wanting it too”.

Often when they send their kids to these schools, they are surprised by how insular the community is.

Many of the Catholics at these schools know why the non-Catholics are there. It isn’t for the Religion or the community or any of that. It’s because they see the school as a discount private school, a bargain, that is. That that attitude and motivation might be offensive to the Catholics never seems to dawn on the non-Catholics.[/quote]

No it’s not high on the list.

Kids have no idea who is Catholic and who is not Catholic. The idea that these kids are “insular” is bizarre.

If your all butt hurt your Kensington neighbors don’t include you I can’t help there but kids are not refusing to include kids based on religion. [/quote]

The kids won’t care.

But the adults are another story.

They aren’t dumb. They’ll know why you are there and that your motives are much different from theirs.[/quote]
