[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to make your own choice. But know at Catholic schools, how the school "embraces other religions" is to show how they're inferior but still worthy of studying.[/quote]

We would never do Catholic, instead we provide other enriching activities through family vacations, an au pair who takes the kids after school 3 x a week (on trips to museums, or other activities), summer camp experiences and spring break trips to a diff state each year.

Education starts at home, it does not begin in school.

We don't want our children to only think in a linear way. [/quote]

Seems only one who is thinking "in a linear way" is the PP, who claims they would "never do Catholic" when they clearly know nothing about Catholic schools.[/quote]

Perhaps I should clarify that no religious schools would be okay for us. You are your child's first teacher, education and learning does not take place in a corporate structure. It takes place at home.  [/quote]

You do you.  We like having the reinforcement of religion in the classroom. It actually expands their education beyond a public school experience where religion can never be discussed.  Those kids are missing out and getting the type of education that might make THEM think in a linear way.  My kids learned about all religions, not just Catholicism.  Sadly not allowed in public schools.

Catholic school works great if you're Catholic. Not so much if you aren't.[/quote]

Plenty of non-Catholic families at our Catholic school… about 50% of the student population. I suspect they’re doing just fine. [/quote]
I'm sure they love the "reinforcement of religion in the classroom" they're getting.[/quote]

As a non-Catholic, it doesn’t bother me at all. My child learns about helping others and gets to do that through regular service projects. She practices being honest, supportive, and kind through each day. Does she learn about saints? Sure, and there are some good moral lessons in those stories.

I’ll speak for myself, thank you. You don’t get to project your disagreement about the Catholic Church on me.[/quote]
