[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not really about the political views of the families.  The entire curriculum in the Arlington Diocese skews strict, conservative and old-fashioned.  [/quote].

Our experience (we have voted for Biden and Hillary, just as background) is that the curriculum is similar to what public school used to do when I was a kid. There is a focus on arithmetic in the lower grades, grammar, spelling, learning how to take notes, developing good study habits. There is a fair amount of homework. The kids had to memorize their multiplication tables and learn cursive. On the religion side, it mostly focuses on how to be a good person, with a big emphasis on virtues. Every now and then there is something that makes me shake my head. But I just tell my kids my viewpoint and what I believe. [/quote]

^ exactly. We have a K student at a Nova parochial school and she's learned more in 3 weeks than she's learned in a whole year at a highly respected preschool. [/quote]
