Oh yes, I know you understand the issues of public vs. private and mainstream vs. special education better than probably anyone else here. My comment wasn't aimed at you at all.

On the subject of religious private schools, I went to a Lutheran school from Kinder through 2nd, because my mother wanted me to start school a year early and the public schools wouldn't let her. It was a vastly superior school experience, and I suffered major culture shock when I switched to public school in 3rd grade. We had weekly chapel and learned only religious songs in music class... but it wasn't until years later that I even understood that the adults teaching us these things actually believed them. I assumed it must be like a Santa Claus thing. And the music was very pretty, after all.
