[quote=Anonymous]DCs (2nd and 6th) go to a Catholic school in Alexandria. It seems like every week, there’s some reason that classes or other academics don’t proceed under the normal schedule. Last week, they had a bunch of “special events” for Catholic Schools week. Now this week, there’s mass both today and Friday, again taking hours away from academics. Other weeks, it seems like there’s some obscure feast or “celebration” (many of which I’ve never heard of, despite growing up in a strict Catholic Church and attending Catholic school my whole life), which again takes away from class time. With all the special feasts, special events, etc., it’s not clear to me when the kids actually attend class with any regularity. My question: is this a Diocese thing? Are all Catholic schools around here like this? Or is it unique to my school? (It certainly isn’t like this in the Carolinas, where I grew up, so it’s not a national thing!) [/quote]
