<p>DS2 wanted to play football in HS. It was not an option at his private so after all due diligence we sent him to the local Catholic High School. Within a month we knew it was a mistake. We are Catholics that lean to the quite conservative side, so it really wasn’t a problem with any Catholic aspect. It just was not a good fit for DS2, our family and our goals and values. Even after extensive research and interviewing we did not truly understand the culture until we were a part of it. So this year he is back at the private and quite happy even without football. My point is that very few decisions in life are permanent, and if it doesn’t work out adjustments can be made. I wish the OP good luck!</p>
