[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Catholic and we send out kids to an Episcopal school now (we were waitlisted at our first choice Catholic K-8); however one kid is going to Catholic high school in the Fall and the younger sibling will also.

I am offended when people go to Catholic school to escape public and treat the religious part of going to a Catholic school as an inconvenient by product. It is actually “the thing” and not a byproduct. Your dismissiveness of Catholic teachings and traditions in pursuit of any alternative to public is insulting. [/quote]

Do you think the Episcopalians are offended you used their school as a convenient fall-back?

To be fair, Episcopal schools (at least in my experience) are very non dogmatic.  The one we considered for our kids did not seem to care at all what faith traditions the students and families came from.  I think Catholic schools are much more religiously oriented than (at least many) Episcopal ones.[/quote]

They do just enough to get the tax status. Like the Quakers. [/quote]
