>By the end of an hour, she was told she didn’t belong at a Catholic school and that “I would be a perfect fit for a public school like Patapsco High School,” the Baltimore County teen recalled.

I mean, harsh, but she was there on a scholarship per the article and they are a private religious school, so technically correct if you dont want to follow their beliefs/rules.

I take it there may have been more behind the story with the parents and past interactions.

Real shame the girl has to suffer in any way for this, but I think much of the blame lies with the parents. That said, not a fan of religious schools myself anyway despite their number in Baltimore.

There are some that are fairly liberal. More time to teach basics instead of the interruption in the school schedule/admin to cover things that student won’t remember anyway.

Many Protestants send their kids there — not for the religion, but usually the behavior there a bit more tolerable. If a kid acts up too much, he’s out. Whereas in public school, the behaved kids suffer because. the nasty, troubled kids stay because they don’t know what to do with them. Simple really. YMMV
