[quote=Anonymous][quote]The problem is, I didn't want public school either. Some of the stories I'd heard were awful (kids not being able to talk at lunch?) and we wanted a bit more freedom. I thought we'd get that with a private school. Clearly I was wrong. Yes, the volunteer work bothers me a lot. I'm an adult and I hate being told what to do. I hate menial work.[/quote]

You are making decisions based on rumours. Have you talked to anyone who used the public school in your new city?

As for the volunteer work, and I say this as a Catholic school alumna, that's how they keep the costs down. All the things that an independent or public school would pay people to do? Those are done by parents in some religious schools. Cleaning duty? Envelope stuffing? Auction planning? Library management? Recess aides? Those are all things the school would need to pay someone to do, but instead they have parent "volunteer" requirements.

It may not work for your schedule, and I think you should look at the public school if it doesn't, but the reason they are telling you to do menial work is because that's why the school is only $10K a year or whatever. [/quote]
