[quote=Anonymous]We moved from an independent Episcopal school for elementary that wasn’t super progressive, to a Catholic school for middle and it was tough on the kids and us, causing us to move back (and we’re forever grateful that our school took us back). The kids felt the Catholic school was too strict, the instruction was boring (lots and lots of worksheets and rote memorization, more lectures, less discussions), the school tolerated bad/mean teachers, the religion classes were more intense (one of my kid’s teachers told the class that being gay was a sin). The other parents were certainly nice to us, but it was clear that we’d never really be part of the groups where many parents had grown up together and others had all known each other since K when their kids started school. There were many more SAH moms who volunteered at the school all the time, and as a working mom, I felt like an outsider. [/quote]
