[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not just mass. It’s the numerous other non-academic “stuff” that consumes the day/week — assemblies, parades, parties, movies, recess, field days, confession, first communion practice, etc etc etc. Not to mention the numerous “half days” and BS snow days (when it’s not even snowing, just to “follow” ACPS).   Oh, and throw in “social emotional learning” (or whatever they call it now), which is worthless.

And it gets worse every year. Pretty soon, math, reading, and writing will be a small blip in the schedule.

If you like all that, fine. Just don’t wonder why test scores are down. [/quote]

Why do you have kids in Catholic school if you object to things like sacrament preparation?[/quote]

+1. Plenty of other privates that don’t do  sacrament prep if it’s such an issue for you.[/quote]

Who’s objecting to sacrament preparation? I think the PP was pointing out how everything in the aggregate begins to swamp academics.

Are parties, assemblies, parades, and SEL also fundamental to Catholic school? Are academics fundamental too?

What they should do is just have students attend separate CCD classes. And, like, make SCHOOL about academics. [/quote]

Parties, assemblies, parades, and SEL happen in non-Catholic schools also.[/quote]
