[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have slowly come to the conclusion that we cannot in good conscience send our kids to public for middle school. We are in Arlington and standards, especially behavioral standards have deteriorated. Disciplinary problems are rampant. Kids take pictures of other kids while using the bathroom and admin does nothing about it. Drug deals happen in school and students come to class high. I’m looking for a school that focuses strictly on academics and discipline. Unfortunately we cannot afford the expensive private secular schools for our three kids and someone suggested looking at catholic schools. The problem? We aren’t even Christian. We are Muslims of Arab origin. While we am more on the liberal side (don’t cover my hair etc) we still are practicing. Would my kids even be able to get into catholic school and if they can would they be welcome? We share a lot of things with Christians when it comes to faith but obviously do not believe that Jesus is the son of God. How much are particular religious beliefs emphasized in school? No issue with that of course but it might not be the right fit and my kids would stick out. Alternatively are there secular private schools that emphasize traditional methods of instruction and are also welcoming to minorities? Thank you so much. [/quote]

Secular is better for minorities

And unless you believe in their doctrine and lack of science and math not sure this is righ5 place [/quote]
