[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typical — instead of addressing the substance or questioning authority, all the lambs have nothing to say other than, “Oh stop complaining and pick a new school.” This is what happens when you go to mass 3x a week during school hours, instead of learning how to think critically and communicate effectively. Sad. Glad I went to normal Catholic school that emphasized learning. [/quote] I’m not involved with the school in question, but I’m guessing they don’t regularly go to Mass three times a week. And you want substance? I’ve taught in both Catholic and public schools. Time was used MUCH more effectively at the Catholic, and I was able to get though content at a more stable, quicker pace. A lot of reasons for this, including: fewer wasted hours dealing with discipline, fewer days and weeks dedicated to county/state testing prep, etc. Heading to Mass isn’t going to get in the way of academics the way you think it is.
