Would you send your child to a religious school?

Started by Delicious16 pages

I was homeschooled Sy, i know what they do and don't have. Homeschooling has MANY groups of kids that meet up and do activities, goes places, etc. I mean I've been Homeschooled, in public school, and private. and out of the three, homeschooling was the best. But like i said, i'm not sure. I may send her to a private or religious school.

Hell no.

I didn't mean that offensively Ash, far from it. I guess because I live in good ol' Britain, I cannot comprehend even half the horrors your young generation has to go through even to graduate. From the sound of it, you want only the best for your children, as and when you have them.

Sending my kid to school will get get them enough bullshit agendas shoved down their throat, I don't need a catholic school brainwashing them into believing their religion too.

There's going to be a large enough number of Christians and Catholics in public schools that will probably influence a child in deciding what they end up believing in. I want them to make up their own mind and believe in what they want. I DON'T want my child believing it because all the kids and teachers around them influenced my child.

Elaborated 😄

My thoughts exactly, or close enough anyway. Propaganda? There's enough other bull to worry about.

I was going to Catholic high school and I'm not catholic. I think it was good school. good friends and also quite good teachers.
yes I would send my children there because I think that the atmosphere on this kind of school is friendly...
and children should know God aqnd doesn't matter through which religion...

yeah but like another member said. They talk about God in the 1st- 10th grade.

Yes, but you are not constantly surrounded by people who believe heavily in the faith from 1st-10th grade. I have no problem with school teaching religion to my kids, I want them to be educated about it, but I want them to make up their own mind, and not believe in something because everyone around this pressures them to believe in something.

yeah, i can agree with that

Not if I can help it!

I just hope that wherever I eventually choose to send my kids ends up having a decent balance in the curriculum. I'll be happy with that.

yes but i'd rather them be more mature and responsible. I'd rather her know what drugs, drinking, smoking, and violence can do to you before she thinks "Well what's one puff?"
One puff could end her life.

Quite so, it's difficult for parents to win in that sphere.

yeah well i'll be the few that does. even if i have to tie her to the bed and not allow her to leave. She'll hate me but she'll be safe

✅ It's difficult, I have much experience of the nastier aspects of life, mostly off my own back. Therefore I would strive to keep my child away from it. But I think that suffocation when I was young played a big part in what I eventually came to experience.

Okay well let me put it this way. If i find out that she starts drinking (even once) before she's 21. She's getting her ass beaten. If she EVER smoke or does drugs, i'm beating her ass. I will not allow her to make the same mistakes i did.
