[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the weirdest thread I’ve ever read. The school at issue here apparently has systemic problems — massive turnover in staff and teachers, kids leaving the middle school (some even for public!), etc. Yet nobody is allowed to question the status quo or propose new ideas or changes? Bizarre.

I suspect many of these posts are just trolls. [/quote]

Cancelling Mass at a Catholic school is the big idea for change? I suspect the poster hammering away and calling weekly Mass at school “weird” is the likely troll.[/quote]

You’re right. All the other brilliant ideas offered are much better. Here’s an idea: have Latin mass 5x a week and just rely on osmosis for academic learning. [/quote]

Latin Mass is a brilliant idea! Thank you for suggesting this. What a wonderful way to introduce students to a language so pivotal in the development of Western Civilization; not to mention, by introducing the Latin Mass, you could start correlating where certain practices arose, the ties to how Jews worshipped in the Old Testament. I’ve never attended a traditional Latin Mass, but really what wonderful way to broaden horizons, give students culture context.[/quote]

lol. Other schools are teaching AI, coding, robotics, critical thinking, writing, etc. But let’s focus on this.

The funny thing is, the best way to actually honor and worship God is to learn about and understand His creation and strive to innovate, discover, learn science, etc. Not sit around for hours and replicate Sunday mornings.

Of course, teaching is HARD and takes $$$. So it’s much easier/cheaper just to focus on other things and rationalize it, and then yell at anyone who dares to question that approach or proposes change. I get it. [/quote]

So, in your SAHP filling the gaps role, I assume you are teaching robotics, coding, etc.[/quote]
