[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you should listen to your own advice too.

just because someone is catholic and sends their son or daughter to a non religious affiliated independent school for High School, does mean its wrong.

what I don't understand on this board is why do people care so much where a family sends their son or daughter - its a family decision.

Well, generally they don't care. Other than some a little grumbling in the stands when they see a player on an opposing team with a name on their jersey that suggests the kid's family is Catholic.

But among the segment of the Catholics that are committed to these Catholic schools, it is seen as a thumb in the eye of the group. Or, they assume that there is some sort of problem or a behavioral issue or something that is driving this unusual behavior. The Catholic High Schools have formal and informal relationships with the parish schools that allow the to screen out kids that might be problems.

There is also a feeling that "we" have to support these Catholic schools if "we" want to continue to have them. The phrase "commitment to Catholic education" is frequently heard. Many of these parents make significant financial sacrifices to do this.

As non-native, you are exempt from this. In fact, the whole nature of your questions demonstrates how little connection you have to this group.[/quote]
