Your specific school. Tons of privates have no more security (and often less) than publics. I’ve worked in two catholic schools and neither has security of any kind.


All the private schools in our area had much tighter security and much stronger policies in regard to troubled kids. My DS is in a very secure Catholic private school.

Trust me, we shopped around.


Hope you also don’t let him go to malls, movies, grocery stores, concerts or sporting events!


You’re being a parrot and it’s boring. Stop embarrassing yourself, PP.


Security is an illusion. Do you have any idea how much of life you can’t control? Car accidents, terminal diseases, etc. If you have not been affected by tragedy, consider yourself lucky.

If you can afford it, OP, start looking around.


+1. I’m glad we did.

God, no! Exact opposite in most good private schools. Overly liberal if anything.

Every parent I know in our privateer school supports strong gun control. It’s not a religious private, btw.


+1. Top private schools are notoriously liberal.


Not religious privates.


Religious privates are not top (save Sidwell).


Depends on the religion. There are other religious schools out there


None “top” that I can think of.

But the first PP said nothing about “top” privates - that was one of the replies. Plenty of privates are very conservative.


Not really. The top private schools are like the top universities - always liberal. This is a fact, PP, and has been for decades.

I think our private is safer than our public schools. Security was the #1 selling point.
