[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in an area where most of our friends and neighbors go to our local public school, at least for elementary school.  We have had mixed feelings about the school since COVID (started kindergarten during covid) and have decided to move our two older children to our local parochial school.  I feel weird telling our neighbors/friends because I don't want them to think we have bad feelings toward our public school, it just isn't a good fit for our kids right now.  Also DH and I are big proponents of public school, both of us going to public school before college, and are having mixed feelings about having to send our kids to private school. Any thoughts on how to reconcile these feelings? [/quote]

Grow up.
No one cares where your kid goes to school.
If you want to waste your money that is your business. You want your kid going to a religious private where Science and math are of lower quality than public, especially in upper grades, and teaches a religion that supports a church that protects child abusers. Again your choice. And you give money to a place that has Billions in the bank. Again all free choices your free choices currently in the United States of America.[/quote]

DP. Oh, the irony in this post.

Clearly YOU care where others send their children. If you didn’t care, then you wouldn’t feel the need to spout off your rude opinions.

OP, Be grateful you have this opportunity and don’t worry about the opinions of others. Opinions are so often born out of ignorance, kind of like PP’s statement about lower-quality math and science.

LOL check the other thread about Catholic schools SAT scores and how the parents defend indoctrination over a strong education.

If religion is taught at a school the way Catholic schools teach it, ie anything that has to do with abortion then Science is lacking.
That is a fact. We all know how the church feels about women's bodies.

Character and happiness can’t be measured by an SAT score. As long as nearly all of a private school’s 11th graders hit college ready benchmarks it’s all gravy. The kids are equipped to handle the rigors of university. It’s not like you need to be a 1560 SAT scoring grind to become a fed, teacher, RN, PA, dentist, lobbyist, corporate drone, lawyer, engineer or even surgeon.[/quote]

Character can’t really be assured to be successfully taught by going to Catholic school either. It’s a huge leap to assume so.  [/quote]

Better odds than your Godless ethos. [/quote]
