--------------------->>>>Here in Australia, Catholic schools are
looked upon as cheap private schools- say around AU$3000 per year,
whilst a "good" private school costs around AU$10000-12500 per year...
Personally, I seem to dislike almost every person I've always met from
a catholic school. Maybe I just haven't looked enough.... But I have
to say that the standards (both educational and those of the students)
appear to be higher at my school, which is Uniting (BTW, I'm a
Humanist, which I'm guessing doesn't count as a religious fanatic).
