[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are sending our child to a Christian school despite not being religious because it is normal. [b]It’s focused on education, not on cramming the latest woke social emotional nonsense down our throats. [/b]I would not previously have considered myself conservative, btw, but schools around here have lost their minds. [/quote]

I just want to point out as a black family formerly with kids in MCPS public school, I didn’t feel our family was being well served, before, during, or after what is described as the “woke social emotional nonsense”.  I put the phrase in quotes because I don’t feel diversity is nonsense, acknowledging history is more than white males is nonsense, or treating people fairly and equally is nonsense or acknowledging mental health is nonsense. I point this out because the pursuit of those things isn’t what has the quality going down hill.  You can pick any goal - say getting our kids to be the best at math, and if it is not executed well with things like research, good communication, parents as true partners in the effort, pilots and adjusting from what you learn …of course things will get worse but it doesn’t mean there wasn’t value in the goal.

I won’t say Catholic school has been perfect, but the focus on the whole child, parents as partners in the education of your child, and true acceptance of all people (not when leaders use religion to divide people) has ironically was more inclusive of our family both from the racial aspect and having a neurodivergent child than when we were in public school.
