<p>(I went to Catholic School for 10 years until I finally graduated :-P )</p>

<p>-You see a Cross in every room, even the bathrooms
-everyone knows everyone
-the Principal knows your name and your background
-There is a prayer room in your school
-You can get kicked out of the Honor Roll for not having a satisfactory "Christian Virtues" grade (i.e. good behavior, responsibility, following rules, etc)
-you go to Mass on the First day of school, the last day of school, and for all the other days of Holy Obligation
-you have to memorize the Nicene Creed/Apostle's Creed in order to pass 7th grade
-you can get in trouble for the LITTLEST things
-The teachers know what your personal problems are and try to help you solve them
-you can't dye your hair, you have to abide by the STRICT dress code (wearing the right kind of socks, the right kind of sweater, etc)</p>

<p>It's been a long time since I went to Catholic school, but my kids go to a "Christian" school and I'd have to add;</p>

<p>Discipline notes include both praying and "swats".</p>

<p>Everyone aspires to go to "Christian" schools; the Kid with the 2360 SAT is going to Liberty</p>

<p>Only "Christian" schools are invited to college fairs.</p>

<p>Parent focus groups had to be consulted regarding adding evolution to the curriculum.</p>

<p>I explained subject tests to teachers of Honors Classes ( few if any AP's ) ... in California...</p>
