re: #316 cenotaphium

May I ask why you sent your child to a Christian school specifically?
In Sweden, the only people you hear about wanting a religiously focused education are.. well, pretty nuts. You seem like a resonable sort however, which is why I am curious.

(just jumping in…)
The wacky religious types give all religion a bad stereotype. My parents pulled me out of public school and opted to send me to a very good private school that happened to be Lutheran. (We were not Lutheran) I can tell you from personal experience that my education was a million times better than the education I was receiving at the local public school. Although, as a young child in 4th grade-8th grade - I hated the 1 hour bus ride across town. After a few years in the private school, I went back to the public school. I regret that decision to this very day.

Our public school system is problematic, often depending where you live and what school district you are in. I beleive in a strong public school system - one that rewards excellence. Sadly, becasue our public school system is run by a monopoly, we have big problems with accountability and quality control. Parents should have more choices.
