Re: Catholic Primary schools for muslim kids
Her reasons for sending her kids there were the much higher levels of discipline, less tolerance for bad behaviour and they were also much stricter (even compared to private schools) in regards to things such as school uniform.. Short skirts were not allowed, no high heels or platforms and only minimal jewellery could be worn.. They also had this rule about males and females needing to be a certain distance away from each other (but I doubt that was actually enforced).. There was no public kissing or sitting on laps or anything like that beween the girls and boys..
As well as obviously being more in line with Islamic morals their academic results were much better than the local high schools..
I think there might be quite a bit of difference between US catholic schools and those here in the UK..
(I went to private schools where we were meant to be in church for special services at Xmas and Easter but as Muslims we could be excused with a note from our parents.. Whilst technically they weren’t ‘religious’ schools they leaned a bit in that direction)
