[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re in the same boat as OP. Going into
9th grade. We’re fine w/ curriculum, uniforms, and mass. My only concern is there is very little hierarchy with teachers/students, as is the design of progressive schools. My child isn’t disrespectful but very much voices their own opinion, isn’t afraid to offer a different point of view etc. Are most Catholic high school teachers really strict/hierarchical? Any thoughts on how to talk to DC about this?  [/quote]

I think you are operating on a misconception. At my kids' Catholic high school you are graded on being able to voice your opinion (respectfully). Sitting back and not participating does not fly. Your kid will be fine. [/quote]

Oh good to hear. I probably am channeling friends from my generation who were very much in a “sit up straight, stay quiet” kind of Catholic school. [/quote]

I'm almost 60 and my Catholic school was very hippy dippy![/quote]

Mine has priests abusing boys. The church is still protecting those creeps [/quote]

You do know that sex abuse is rampant in US public schools? https://www.city-journal.org/article/sexual-abuse-in-public-schools

There is no excuse for sexual abuse in any setting, but today's Catholic schools have layers upon layers of procedures in place to make sure that it doesn't happen again. I'm not sure that the same can be said for public schools. [/quote]
