What do you think about Catholic schools, or just religious schools in general?
They are fine. I went to a catholic school for one year.
Are they as strict and judgmental as the media makes them seem?
Like all schools, Catholic schools vary by region or specific school. Mine was not the most strict school I've ever been to
Oh okay. I don't really understand the purpose behind having religious schools as general education.
Me too. Making a Catholic education system was a reaction to the Anti-Catholicism of the 17th century.
