[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]

Catholic school did not work great for the Catholic I know best. (Spouse, who attended a parish ES we refer to around here as Our Lady of Perpetual Agony.)[/quote]

What was the highest level of education, current job title, and salary?

I don’t know anyone from my catholic elementary school class who didn’t go onto grad school. Everyone is doing well.

If you meant to say catholic school is challenging and not warm and fuzzy, I agree. I think that’s why we succeed: because they push us to. [/quote]

Different pp, one of my neighborhood friends who attended Catholic schools got hooked on drugs, was probably abused (now that I know the signs), and tried to kill her sibling. Fortunately didn't succeed and got her life straightened out, but didn't graduate from college.

I would stay public. [/quote]
