[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved catholic school (and I consider myself  a professional working mom who is more liberal)  The community. the values, the manners,the "love one another", the academics. Happy memories of childhood. Prolonged innocence. 
I am reading Jonathan Haidt's book, and it's so interesting what he says about how important traditions like going to church are for kids and how these kids are the ones who are the least anxious.  
 “In the virtual world, there is no daily, weekly, or annual calendar that structures when people can and cannot do things,” 
"Religious ritual is typically embodied, synchronous, deep, and collective.” 
Going to a religious school, church attendance can and should push against the anxious, fractured, distracted that we find ourselves in . Data shows that church attendance matters now more than ever both for those who believe and for those on the fence.

I would try it OP BUT please don't complain about the religion in the school or the teachers. 
That's the whole FREAKING POINT! We all want that.[/quote]

I’m definitely a Cafeteria Catholic and I agree with you.  While I disagree with the church’s stance on certain issues, I love Catholic schools and value attending mass for the reasons you mentioned.  [/quote]
