She did tell me that they say a prayer in the morning and do the thing were they touch their forehead and say, "in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." I don't really have a problem with that. Also, I know other Baptist kids that go to the school and I know a number of people who go to church there.

I grew up in a UPC church that had a school. In fact, my parents didn't even plan to have children until the school was established. I went my whole life in the school and learned a lot about God and my whole world was in that environment. I took Pentecostal doctrine classes and we had chapel every Thursday. Some times kids even got the Holy Ghost.

The school worked though and I didn't leave the UPC until I was 27 while most of my other friends left as soon as they hit college.

That's not bad at 50%. I guess there are just many more Catholics compared to other denominations where I live.

Our UPC church here has a "school" but there are only like 5 kids that go there, they are all just basically homeschooled with a church member that does the schooling for the parents. And, the money you have to pay is outrageous.
