[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a highly desirable school district but after going to the open house determined that the public school would probably not be the best fit for our child.  We decided to send him to a small Catholic school.  When I told some friends in the nieghborhood some people were really surprised and gave us push back.  There were mulitple reasons to send our child to the school we chose but we didn't really share all of those reasons as it would have made it sound like we thought their choice was wrong.

I don't think that people are wrong to send their children to the public school in our nieghborhood, it just wasn't the right fit for our child and our family.  I was surprised by how nasty some people were and how great some people were.  People who really knew about the Catholic school we are at have said what a great school it is.  Everyone else I just take as jealous, petty people who should just mind their own business.

When we moved to our neighborhood one of the plusses at the time was the public school.  As our child got older, and we really started to look at schools, the public school was not as desirable for our family as was this Catholic school.

And I do not regret one second sending my child to Catholic school.  My child loves it and so do we.  [/quote]

I bet money your kid goes to St. Louis.  As a non-Catholic, I question the sanity of ANYBODY sending their kid to Catholic school, but that's just me...:-)[/quote]
