Not all private schools are better than public schools. I went to a non-secular private middle school which was excellent. Afterwards I went to a Catholic high school for my freshman and sophmore year and public high school for my junior and senior year. I have to say the public high schools were far better. Both in education provided and overall atmosphere. At the Catholic school it seemed that teaching the students to be good, God fearing Catholics was far more important than giving them a good education. Fail alegbra, who cares? Fail theology, now that's a different story.

Of course, Catholic girl were easy so I did have a lot of fun there

around my house there are some really good catholic schools.just about everybody goes to catholic schools where i live.

[Marlboroman]

my money and kids are going to private school.

but is it Religiuos as well?

I dont disagree with religiuos private schools, my kids go to Catholic school, and it is not what I would prefer. It just means that I need to invest some time in deprogramming them a bit.

My 5 year old in first grade told me that Jesus wrote the law and that cops inforce the law. So with a simple logic train that she has no idea she is even doing. She is relateing the police and military to be enforceing the word of god.

I will let my children have their own beleifs but I will not let them beleive something false.


These men and women are enforceing the word of MAN.

Peace.

sounds like something a 5 year old would say.she sounds like a cutie.

i believe in god,it is my opinion.if my child chooses not to,cool,that dosent bother me at all,its their life,not mine.

i will never force my opinions on my child,even if i disagree with their views.

[pisshead]

yeah, those ideas tend to just pop into the heads of 5 year olds...

[amsterdam]

they dont?THEY ARE 5 YEAR OLDS,not young adults.

notice how he said with SIMPLE logic?

I think the point he is trying to make is that had she never been TAUGHT it, she would never have thought it.

Its primary idea is trust. A thing is true, and
therefore worthy of trust. It admits of many degrees up to full assurance of
faith, in accordance with the evidence on which it rests. Faith is the result
of teaching (Rom. 10:14-17).

[pisshead]

yeah, i thought that was pretty self explanatory marlboro...but then i remembered who we were dealing with.

[amsterdam]

how do you figure she wouldnt have thought of that?i have heasrd kids say way crazier things than that.you should give your child more credit than that.

so what you are saying is that knowledge of god will just appear in my childs head?

Children know what we teach them and...

Humans knew nothing of god until a man made it up.

Peace.
