[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The faith will pervade everything - prayers before each class, practice, game.  Frequent Mass as a school and expectation to attend Sunday Mass as a family.  Know that going in.

We saw a slightly older culture - addressing me as “Mrs DH last name” automatically;[b] using cursive[/b]; no individualized instruction.   Conservative isn’t the right word exactly, but it was different.  [/quote]

Cursive is fantastic for brain development.  Many public school systems are looking to bring it back.

We know a 29-year old MD that can't read anything in cursive.  I had to read the grandmother's letter to her.

We made our son's learn and practice cursive in high school. They weren't happy about it--but had to write a sentence each day. They now write to their grandmothers in cursive.

Fwiw, my husband isn't Catholic and I didn't practice growing up (more culturally Catholic), but we thought it was important for our kids to learn the morals/values and service so they are at an independent Catholic HS in DC.  I am glad they are learning to give back and taking required courses in social justice and ethics and world religions.[/quote]
