evidence for the "virtual" similarity of christian influenced schools to non-denominational schools is required. From my experience, the empahasis on Christian teaching (especially in RE) was quite prevalent. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.198.214.200 ( talk • contribs) 02:00, 25 September 2009
The term "scientific community", as with many other such generalizations, should be understood to be just that, a generalization presumed by an author. Many people doing scientific work, and holding legitimate scientific educational degrees, may well not consider evolution (another ambiguous term) to be as supported by objective scientific evidence as the probability that there must have been design involved, for example. To say that a school which does not embrace evolution without question is poorer that one that discourages consideration of the facts would seem to reflect a rather unscientific bias. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by SenorBez ( talk • contribs) 21:09, 7 August 2010

The term "parochial schools" may refer to the sum of all Christian and Jewish schools in a city. It is appropriate to call Jewish schools parochial but not Christian. This is why the articles should be separate. I understand there is a regionalism aspect to this. Someone living in an area with few Catholics and many Protestants would probably just use the term "Christian." But the meaning is not equivalent like soda vs. pop.-- Epiphyllumlover ( talk) 19:39, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Oppose: I do not know how the term "parochial school" is used informally in different parts of the United States, but properly speaking, a parochial school is one that is run by a parish. After all, "parochial" is just the adjectival form of the noun "parish." There are many (probably most) Christian schools that are not affiliated with any parish even though they belong to some Christian denomination, hence their description as "private." As far as I know, the concept of the parish (in the context of ecclesiastical jurisdiction) is an exclusively Christian concept, so it is even less appropriate to refer to Jewish or other religious schools as parochial. Perhaps this is just a very informal and very incorrect, regional use of the term "parochial school." Ergo Sum 04:26, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
