| | To clarify regarding education, where I live these are the only two options - public education and faith-based private education, mostly Catholic schools. I am faced with the same dillema. The public schools in my neighborhood are so bad that going there is out of question. The private schools in my city are also mostly associated with churches. However, many of them do not have any religious teachings in their curriculum. They may have a generic chapel and have a generic prayer, but religion is not in the curriculum at all. Actually, many academically good private schools are like that. Because in order to be accredited by the National Independent School Association, a secular curriculum is a requirement, I believe. Of course, there are many really faith-based schools and they are usually openly declared. So, don't be put off simply by schools with names containing Parish, Episcopal, St. Rita, or St. Mark. Look more carefully into their curriculums. Those with a complete secular curriculum should be better than bad public schools.
