Oh, the horror of it!

Did I say it was horror? You must be one of the mean moms.

As opposed to codling boys?

You’ve got a warped perception and wouldn’t blame your husband when he has affairs.

Codling is an immature codfish so yes as opposed to having immature cod.

First page poster is incorrect - this year pretty there’s a pretty even split between grads going to Prep and Gonzaga, a handful to St. Albans and St. John’s, and a few elsewhere. They used to hold back kids but not so much anymore. It’s very much on a case by case basis now. Academics and athletics are top notch and the students perform very well on now standardized tests.

Catholic but not as Catholic as The Heights.

One neighbor boy does not have a summer birthday and is well into age 13 at only grade 6 at the school. He will be pushing 16 and just stating high school. Another neighbor is high school age and big while still at the school as well.

Wouldn’t they perform well on standardized tests if they are older than they should be for their grade?

One other thing about Mater Dei.

Parents of players on teams that lose to Mater Dei reason that it must be the boys are older. It couldn’t possibly be that they are better athletes who are better coached. The PP is an example of that.

Lol Watching mater Dei parents when St. Jerome’s and Washington Jesuit beat down on their “athletic” boys.

25% hold back in elementary
50% in middle
As high as 75% some 8th grade classes.

If you repeat 8th grade .. yes your standardized scores go up. Actually kids who’s scores are low are told by Gz and prep to go to MD for 1 year.

The boys I know who attend are older. Just a fact that I observed. I don’t know about their athleticism but one could presume that being older is an advantage and I know that being older is a factor with the students there.

75% is remarkable high and not a compliment. I’m not surprised though as I said one neighbor boy will be nearly 16 when he leaves for high school from this school.

the only exposure I have to Mater Dei is my child's team playing them in a middle school sports game. I have never seen such a poorly behaved, offensive coach in my entire life. Screaming (face red, spittle flying screaming) at his players, going absolutely ape sh*t crazy when his team lost the ball, shouting at players who messed up, grabbing boys aggressively by the jersey to pull them off the bench. Talking back when the ref made a call against his team. It was like these kids were playing in the final 4.

It was the most obnoxious, outrageous behavior from a school coach I have ever experienced. I do not see how the parents at Mater Dei allow their kids to play under this coach. I do not see how the school allows this coach to be repsonsible for children (I assume this coach is also a teacher).

The parents from our team were all appauled that an adult would act this way toward children.

These are 12-13 YO Kids.

There is zero differentiated learning in middle school 6th, 7th, 8th. All students are on same page of the same book- at all times- in math, social studies, reading, language arts and science. They “teach” to the middle of the pack.

Teacher threw a student’s notebook out the window saying the student was disorganized. Berated 13 year old student until he cried in front of his classmates. Teacher told another parent that the kid learned his lesson alright.
