[quote=Anonymous] :lol: [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SMS has been a mess for a while. Several years ago a teacher had to leave in the middle of the year due to a criminal investigation. I have heard stories of unqualified teachers. Aides are being put in the classroom with no experience.

A friend of mine once told me that Catholic school is 90% of public school work for75% of public school pay. Catholic doesn’t have some of the benefits of independent like small class sizes. Catholic school has 24-28 kids in a class some with  learning issues.

I hope St. Mary’s can get a good principal who can attract high quality staff AND stand up to the pastor. ( That is a whole nother problem).[/quote]

The pastor is in charge. Yes there is a principal but the pastor has authority over them. The diocese won’t get involved unless it’s extreme and even then they’ll come down on the side of the pastor 99% of the time.[/quote]

+1 It is hard to explain to someone with no background in Catholic schools. Someone often with no educational experience is often calling shots. If you want to get somewhere in Catholic education, you have to kowtow to the pastor no matter the educational impact on kids.[/quote]

For parochial schools perhaps, but not independant Catholic schools, since  there is no parish and so no pastor.[/quote]

Not necessarily true, St Anselms is not parochial but headmaster is definitely not in charge. [/quote]
