[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Mary’s has in the last few years attended Mass more frequently than the other Alexandria Catholic K-8 schools. The students walk the several blocks to the church more frequently than just First Friday Mass, which does take longer than walking across a parking lot at the other local schools.

I’m not sure what caused the increase in Mass, but it does exist. A family who entered the school with a kindergarten student is experiencing a different school now as a 5th grade student or older. While the OP has posted about this issue several times, I think they are grappling with a school that is different than the one they joined several years ago. This is a conversation many school parents are having, just not on DCUM.

Exactly.  I suspect it’s just a stealth (pathetic) way to reduce teachers’ working hours. If it’s going to turn into a lame daycare, I’d rather they be upfront about it so parents could adjust accordingly.

Not to mention the massive tuition increase next year (much of it masked by new “fees”). [/quote]

Didn’t take long to turn this into an attack on teachers. Really… they are going to Mass to reduce teacher working hours? (And how would that work, exactly?)

You do realize that teachers would like to remain in the classroom as much as possible, correct? Disruptions make a teacher’s job harder. [/quote]
