[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you with kids in big co-ed Catholic schools—how do you see them as different from public schools? Assuming both have large student bodies and offer the same kinds of activities, and your child is doing great academically either way… why choose the private (and pricey) route if you're not specifically seeking a religious focus? What do you feel you get from it?

Most succinct way to sum it up: big, co-ed Catholic schools remind me of what my public high school was in the 1980s/early 1990s. Discipline is enforced; disrespectful, disruptive or violent behavior is not tolerated; the school doesn't insert trendy political/sexual stuff into the environment (although there is a religion class and of course there are the Christian principles that are part of the school messaging, which we are fine with); etc. The vibe is actually "nicer" and more friendly than what I remember from my public school days and what we experienced in FCPS when our kids were there.
