That's fair. All we have are our personal experiences and in exchanging them with others we can broaden our understanding, can we not? :-)

My husband came out of parochial schools, and the Catholic Church, and rejected the system, but not the Bible.
My Catholic neighbor, and seemingly a born again Believer, will not leave the Catholic Church because to do so would mean separating herself from her family.
My Jewish friend from college attended Parochial schools, as did most Jewish children, because Parochial schools were better than the public school system.
Another Catholic friend from college stills loves everything Catholic.
These are "everyday, run-of-the-mill, Roman Catholic, and/or attendees of RCC schools," and do not fit your description.
It's funny that John Yurich should mention RC schools. I was talking to someone yesterday about how EVERYONE I have ever known who grew up attending a RC school has an utter contempt for anything Biblical and a strange disdain for authority. All of them seem to have horror stories about their experiences there and it works to turn them totally away from Christ. I have always wondered what goes on there that creates such attitudes.
Not only is it child abuse to send children to government schools, but it is also child abuse to send children to Roman catholic schools, because Roman catholic schools were the schools that I went to when I was a boy and the nuns were not very nice people.
In my opinion, at least here in the U.S., for a Christian parent to send their child into a government school is child abuse. No child from a real Christian home should be in a government school.
Methinks the Baroness is like her boss PM Brown, she to is into control freakery as well. Doesn`t she realize it wouldn`t be too difficult to provide a superior education than the state schools can attain to. I would suspect a primary reason is their HATRED of anything Christian including CHRISTIAN Home Schooling. This labour Government thinks smoke & mirrors will deceive everyone but they are really transparent.
