[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the religious education in those schools is very light. They have a school wide mass about once a month.

They will learn about stories in the bible. He bible is one of the most read pieces of literature and it would help with basic knowledge since many things she will read will have religious references.

Patience of job
Turn to salt
Prodigal son
Kiss of deal
Thirty pieces of silver
Parting of the sea

I would just treat it like another literature class.

Can you say what school this is?  None of these things are even remotely part of the standards for religious education in the Archdiocese of Washington  (and I would assume the neighboring dioceses are not much different.)  There is no way students could come close to passing the Faith Knowledge Assessments by merely learning bible stories as literature.  I have a middle schooler learning about synods and ecumenical councils having already covered topics from Old and New Testaments, lives of the saints, all aspects of the Mass and sacramental prep for First Communion and Reconciliation.  The Catholic school your child attends is no where near where they should be as far as religious education goes.[/quote]

My impression was that poster does not have a child in Catholic elementary school. The first sentence "I think"... meant to me that it was a poster just guessing that had no idea. [/quote]
