"That has helped our efforts in this community a great deal more than it would had we set up a private school that somehow told everyone that we think we’re better than they are."
I think I understand this educator's thinking here. But for perspective: I just returned from visiting family in the Philippines, where my little nephew and teen niece attend a beautiful Catholic school there. I don't believe their school sends anyone a message that they think they are "better than" anyone else. Would an LDS school necessarily denote arrogance? Of course not. Are all LDS home schooling parents arrogant finger-pointers? Of course not, and they are entitled to their reasons and opinions I hope.
As an aside, I am curious to know more about the Church's Global Education Initiative idea.
