[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any issues teaching evidence-based science? [/quote]

I teach in a Catholic high school. We have AP Chem, AP Physics, AP Bio, etc. Catholicism is not at odds with science. Our school does not teach things like creationism, etc.  Is that what you’re asking? [/quote]

Yes, thanks!  I have had public school families that have gotten upset when I have taught convergent evolution but we are protected because it's in the standards.  I refuse to teach anything that is not based in evidence (i.e. creationism or the like), so as a science teacher that has always given me pause before jumping ship to private.  And FYI, there are Catholics and Christians that believe in Creationism (I taught science with one!) [/quote]

You’d be perfectly fine teaching in a Catholic school. (I can’t speak for other Christian denominations.) It was a Catholic priest who came up with the idea of the Big Bang.

You don’t have to be a Catholic, either. I’d say about 50% of our staff is Catholic? I couldn’t tell you for sure since we don’t talk about that much. I do know the teacher in the room next to me is Jewish. [/quote]
Do Catholic schools still have Mass?[/quote]
