Message: <blockquote data-quote="Turanil" data-source="post: 2374532" data-attributes="member: 9646">Yet another one:In France there are state high schools, plus a few private ones. Usually the private high schools are religious schools. So, if a person is deeply religious, he/she would rather send his/her children to a private religious high school. However, some of these private schools are nonetheless subsidized / grant-aided by the government, so there is much less emphasis on religion in such schools.So, as I was a bad student (and had been fired from the state high school), my parents sent me to one such subsidized private high school. Yet, as the emphasis on religion was rather weak, I never noticed it was a religious school. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" />  (Plus and my parents never told me, or if they did, it was one of those many times I wouldn't listen to them...) Anyway, I had been in that school for more than a year, still never realizing this was supposed to be a religious school. THEN, someday we were several students discussing various things just for the sake of discussion. Someone brought up a religious subject. I very proudly attracted the attention of everyone there, to me, and loudly declared that religion was but idiocy and superstition. And then I saw the looks of anger and disbelief of everyone else around me, especially including that cute girl I had been trying to court... I discovered that day, that apart of a few others bad students like me that ended there for having been fired from state school, all the others were believers of the faith.   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /></blockquote>
