I agree. My parents sent me to a private Christian
school for elementary school and then when I went on
to a public school for jr. high and highschool I just
felt like the private school was so naive, sheltering,
and extremely biased. For example, I was raised to
believe that other religions like Buddhism, Hinduism,
and others were all pagans that were going to burn in
hell forever. Also, the school completely avoids
issues like sex education(the school's K-12th grade),
drugs, and other issues; leaving kids in the dark. I
think I'm like an Agnostic Christian that feels
there's similarities in lots of religions.:)
