In reply to the discussion: This is catholic schools week [View all]SickOfTheOnePct
(7,290 posts)32. I believe in fully funding public schools
and not using any public fund for any kind of private school, but no, I don't think we should fight against private education, religious or secular.
Both of my daughters were in Catholic school for 13 years, and they were never taught that they were better than anyone else. The school was very diverse - racially, socio-economically and religiously - and at their K-8 school, more than 30% of the students received financial aid from the school/parish/diocese so that they could attend.
Truly sorry that you had such a bad experience, but it certainly wasn't the same experience our family had.
