[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s really out of control. For example, this week, students are off on Monday, have mass on Tuesday, have mass yet again on Friday morning, and then have stations of the cross Friday afternoon (which is an hour-long event). And this week is not unusual — last week was similar, PLUS they had random “inclusion” assemblies and movies during classroom time. We’re new to the school and perhaps should have done better due diligence before enrolling. But isn’t this a bit much? Why so little emphasis on ACADEMICS? I’m all for spiritual development, but there should be a balance. It’s a school, not a monastery. It breaks my heart to watch the children miss out on academic development. Is this typical in DMV? (and yes, I know it’s Lent, but that doesn’t mean learning should cease). [/quote] Why are you surprised it is Catholic School. Religious schools are indoctrination that is the definition of religion and indoctrination.[/quote]
