Here is why we avoid so called 'catholic' schools, in the words of a 'catholic school' student:

"If it wants to stay one of the major religions in this country, it needs to progress with the times and let women priests in," said Katie McDevitt, 20, a sophomore at Boston College, a Jesuit university. Ms. McDevitt says she attends church relatively regularly, and she recently went to a memorial Mass for John Paul. "It needs not to be so sexist and patriarchal. There is a lot of emphasis on the wrong principles."

"It needs not to be so sexist and patriarchal. There is a lot of emphasis on the wrong principles."

So, she's looking at gender as the correct and only emphasis? (Smack head, hit wall....scream).

We tried to get my daughter into the local liberal Catholic school who blackmails parents for spaces. It was like attending a prison camp. The more money you gave, the more time you gave them, the better your chances for a spot. I gave lots of time. Then the head of the Nursery that I worked every Sunday, told me that his son did Preschool there, but he did not make it into Kindergarten. This man had been coordinating and working this nursery for 4 years and yet it wasn't good enough. He left the parish and so did I.

Now we handle it with a great Syllabus from "Our Lady of Divine Grace" and real CCD at a great conservative parish (I can't sing it's praises enough). Who needs Catholic school at the tune of 1800.00 a year when I can do it for 49.99 + the cost of books?

(their uniforms are PJs most days!)

Ugh. That's why we're homeschooling, and when the time for college comes, we'll only consider financing tuition for a mandatum college.
