I'm the only Pagan in the house that didn't go to parochial schools.. Even my mother, Indian Mission School in Western Montana, then on to Great Falls.. Bur, it left scars on the kids, their kids didn't go, so far..

I went to parochial school through the 3rd grade, until we moved to Northern Michigan where there were only public schools. Since the schools' patron saint was St. Patrick we had to wear black trousers, pale-yellow long sleeved shirts and a GREEN NECKTIE. Now this was before there really were any clip-on neckties, at least not for someone like a 6 or 7 year old, so my mother had to hand tie me and my brother's ties every morning. Anyway, she finally decided to get us bow-ties instead since you could readily find clip-on versions of them. Well this almost caused a scandal but they couldn't do much about it since the school written dress code only said a "long sleeved yellow shirt and green tie". It did not specify that the 'tie' had to be a necktie so we got away with it ;-)
