we didn’t do it for status, but because we wanted our values reinforced at school, not challenged. Though it’s not like Catholic schools are immune from liberal teachers, but because we talk the talk and walk the walk at home, our kids know conservative from liberal and could never be swayed by a liberal teacher. He’s certainly contending with them at Syracuse. now my oldest daughter graduated from Visitation, was actually in the same class as Caroline Matthews, and she couldn’t stand the liberal bent there and so she chose the U of Dallas for college, which is a small, authentically Catholic university in Texas which teaches to the Magisterium. She loved going somewhere that shared her very conservative ideology. My younger daughter is LD and so is at a private, non-religious HS that caters to LD. She is totally into working on political campaigns though and is currently working for Cuccinelli [Gonzaga grad btw ; )]
Wow! Love that Cuch is a Gonzaga grad,,,didn’t know. Of course you know McDonnell went to Ireton. My son interviewed with him for a job but got aced out by a kid whose parents gave a lot to his campaign...ahem, my son’s parents are poor military!
I SO agree about walking the walk, etc.; this is truly the key to parenting though the “experts” might disagree. It really is neat when your kids live on their own and onto use to practice what you have instilled in them! True satisfaction and worth all the sacrifice...
Congrats to all...let’s hope the next generation benefits as well!
(Though they may end up living in a sealed compound with the unwashed hoards laying siege outside...) how depressing....
