[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you really think your kids will forever be left behind based on this past year, you need to work on your own irrational anxiety more than worrying about your kids.[/quote] DCUM's gotta DCUM.[/quote] You mean provide frank, but useful advice? Does the inanity of OP's post deserve more? [/quote] No, actually, I mean, respond by telling the PP or OP that the [i]real[/i] problem is their own personal failings. Private schools being open, while public schools are doing distance learning, is another aspect of the "them that has, gets" inequity that's built into American society. That's just a fact.[/quote] “Them that has gets”. Wrong. We’ve prioritized Catholic education for our children their entire life and planned and made sacrifices accordingly. For members of the parish, Catholic education is very reasonable from a tuition standpoint. For parish families experiencing financial difficulties, arrangements can be made to further reduce the cost of tuition. [/quote] Wrong, what? If you're Catholic and belong to a parish, the parish will help subsidize your child's tuition at the parochial school? Is that what you're using to say that "them that has, gets" is wrong?[/quote] DP, but all of these people are coming out of the woodwork acting like they're entitled to a Catholic school education simply because it's in person. Of course if you're middle income and haven't been planning your life to afford it, it's probably out of reach on short notice. I come from a pretty Catholic, blue collar family and although I did not attend Catholic school growing up, many of my cousins did. My aunts/uncles were middle class (think truck drivers, nurses, secretaries) and often made some pretty big sacrifices to afford tuition, particularly by the time high school rolled around. In at least one case they didn't save for college because that $$ was spent for Catholic school tuition (cousins lived at home and attended the local state college while working). And lets not forget that if someone in your house gets Covid and needs long term medical care, that will be expensive too. There are no easy answers for the non-wealthy.[/quote]
