[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I could DM you - I have googled Catholic schools multiple times in the last 18 months and I never thought I'd consider parochial school.[/quote]

We are Protestant.  We carefully bought an house in a “good” public school pyramid (think W) with every intention of public schools all the way through.  We now also are looking at local Catholic schools.

The ones near us have smaller class sizes than our public - low 20s of kids rather than 30+ kids/classroom.  Much less screen time.  Mainstream textbooks for math, science, history at the Catholic.  Phonics-centered reading instruction.  Explicit spelling and grammar instruction.  I never thought we would be looking serious at Catholic schools, yet here we are.[/quote]

Yeah, why not, indoctrinate your kid in Catholicism like JD Vance.  It is way more important to get textbooks, the Bible and that all important gold cross necklace these days anyway that to like support some kind of public entity.  
Times have changed and you have got to put the Bible and supporting religion first.[/quote]

I gather you didn't actually *read* the post you are responding to, where it was quite clear that they:

- intended originally to go public,

- were not Catholic,

- were not interested in the religious aspects,

- but were impressed that Catholic schools still teach solid academics.

Oh no I read it.  I understood it  and I also understand that you are operating in an environment that is attacking all things public.  Perhaps you don’t understand how that is pervading your thinking, but it is.  Many posters, parents and government officials are attacking public schools and have been since the pandemic.  Know that although you “believe” you are just doing it for the “good of your child”. You are also doing it because it is in the ether to do right now. You aren’t trusting ANY public service and are being manipulated. Everything public is being attacked (federal government, local government, schools etc) and the you jumping on that bandwagon.

So, don your crosses ladies, get your household vote together and try to sway your husbands.  Schools are the last bastion of democracy.  Keep punching them and watch the (and democracy) fall  or get smart, stand up and fight for public services.

Now, go ahead and insult me and call this “bizarre” or “horrible” or “unhinged” but the more you know…[/quote]
