I dont have any kids but I grew up in the Catholic School system. In 11th grade I decided to leave and go to public school.....In 12th grade I ended up right back in catholic school not my parents choice but my own.
One thing with this experience is that catholic school taught me alot, academically and spiritually and these teachings kept myself and most of the students in line (you had your few bad asses but thats anywhere) and the teachers cared if you graduated and promoted furthering your education. The environment was conducive to learning. While in public school, a DC public school at that the environment was not conducive to learning, crowded classrooms, old books, and the teachers passed you for just coming to class. There was no intellectual challenge.
All public schools are not like this but when the school system is not up to par in your community, I am sure some parents "do what they have to do" to give their children the best opportunities. When it comes down to having kids one day the only thing I can do is determine which will benefit them more.
