[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting perspective to me.  As a Catholic, I send my children to Catholic school, I was sent to Catholic school, my parents went to Catholic school, my GRANDparents went to Catholic school.

Originally, the Catholic schools were started because of the overt anti-Catholicism in this country against Catholics.

Today, we choose to send our children to Catholic school because we want them to be surrounded by a community who shares our morals and values, and to teach our children that religion is not something that just occurs one hour a week, in church.  It is everyday, a fabric of our daily lives.

As a Catholic parent, I feel it is part of my responsibility -- and I will be called to answer for this someday -- to do my best to train up my children in the Catholic faith as well, to pass down my faith.  I feel the best way to do this is to make the financial sacrifice to pay more $$ to send my kids to a Catholic school.  [/quote]

Well, you can do all of that and still send your kids to public school, at least part of their education. We do, and our Sunday school is full of other families who do too.[/quote]
