Which best describes how you handle (or how you did handle) your children's K-12 education?

Our oldest daughter, 19, went to Catholic grade school, an independant college prep high school & is now in a Catholic University. Our 13 year ols twin daughters attended catholic elementary through 5th grade , then we moved them to the independant college prep school.

what if you have one in public and one in private or Catholic school?

My son now attends a Catholic preschool, but for kindergarten, he will be going to the wonderful charter school in our town. Started by Catholic parents, this school emphasizes virtues and character development, and, written right into the charter is the understanding that parents are the primary educators of their children.

Free, close by, and matches our values. My husband and I are grateful for that option.

We haven't officially started shool yet. We intend on homeschooling in the fall unless something drastic happens that prevents it.

Ours are just 1 and 2. Provided our parish school is still open and authentically Catholic we will probabaly send them there.

Our kids went to a Catholic school,, we moved and put them in Public. Next week we are put them back in starting in Sep.

Our oldest 3 (ages 20, 18 and 18) all graduated from public school. Our 16 year old (sadly) is a high school dropout and very troubled young man. We did attempt to homsechool with him at one point, but he needed more remediation than I could give him (he came home from public school). Our 14 year old came home for school last year from public school. Our 12 year old in in her third year of homeschooling after coming home from pariochial school, and our 8 year old has never been to a "brick and mortar school" but has been homeschooled.

My children are not k-12 age yet, but we plan to homeschool.

I hope to homeschool. My son is 16 months and the new baby is growing in utero.

I have two children who not yet school aged. When the time comes I hope to send them to a good Catholic school. If money or availability become a problem, I am open to homeschooling.

We use a Virtual Charter School. So I guess it is public school but at home.

Our 2 school-age children are in our Parsh Catholic School. The others will probably follow, it is a wonderful school.

Our children are educated in our domestic monastery -- that is, at home.

We have three of our children in Catholic grade school. One is at a public school due to learning disabilities that weren't able to be met at the Catholic School. The youngest is in preschool at a Lutheran School due to the lack of Catholic Preschools in our area.

We sent our 2 sons to a Christian pre-school, a Catholic grade school, and a public high school. They are both going to state universities now and are involved with the Catholic campus churches.

Isn't it time to put up a new poll?

My daughter went to public school K-8th grade and attended Rel ED for the 8 years..
When it was time for High School, she decided she wanted to attend Catholic High School .
She attended a state College and graduated and is presently a history teacher !

Our children used to attend a Catholic school, but there was a very sour, un-Christian, liberal and "exclusive" atmosphere about the school (all the parents seemed to do is complain about the school, parents and students were incredibly clique-y, and I was actually threatened by a teacher), so we enrolled our children in public school. They are thriving in their new school environment, academically and socially, and are amazingly better off in such a diverse atmosphere. They take some heat for their conservative Catholic views, but have found friends that have the same beliefs and values who support them. We continue to go to our parish PSR classes.
