The per student public school funding, at least in our area of the Northeast, is extremely high and almost double the cost of a good parochial school or even equal to the cost of a good parochial prep school. The enrollment has been increasing at these schools partly because they remained open during the pandemic. They also tend to minimize politics in favor of teaching a traditional core curriculum, except of course in a civics or history class. I can’t remember even one time where the Franciscan nuns or Christian Brothers ever brought up politics in our Math or Science classes for any reason. I guess I am really old school but this whole thread would not be necessary if all schools did the same.
