[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of public school parents, even the fairly liberal ones, are uncomfortable with the progressive indoctrination that is now occurring in the public and private schools.  They are seeking a more balanced, moderate environment where kids are taught to think for themselves.  And yes, it’s completely ironic that the best place for this is actually a Catholic school.

This is not why. The pandemic exposed the priorities of public schools and school boards and it was not the children so people looked for alternatives. Catholic high schools are cheaper and provide structure so fewer behavioral issues. Also many Catholic high schools are feeders to top schools like Georgetown (Visi has a dual enrollment program), Notre Dame and Boston College. [/quote]

Yours are additional correct reasons, but the PP’s comment is also true. [b]We left public because school time was wasted on DEI [/b]stuffs instead of strengthening kids’ academics, making sure they’re reading and doing math at levels they should be. Also, class sizes in the publics are ridiculously large. Kids get lost and are overlooked. Parents’ concerns are disregarded and not respected. Teachers are overworked and overwhelmed. For the large amount of taxpayers money thrown into our public schools, it’s still a disaster. [/quote]

I don't believe you. Name the school. And if you weren't upset about the absence of accurate Black history in your history books and lack of inclusion about how other races and cultures contributed to the core subjects your kid(s) study, please stop acting like you can now feign offense to DEI efforts. It makes you sound dumb and uneducated.[/quote]
