[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mass and “churchy” stuff are fine. Just don’t do it at the EXPENSE of “schooly” academics. Make the days and/or school year a bit longer to accommodate. And no more BS half days.

Catholic teachers want the best of both worlds — public school calendars/pay AND the churchy stuff / well-behaved religious students. Sorry, pick one. [/quote]

What Catholic school teachers are getting anywhere close to public school salaries?

Religious education is another opportunity to practice reading and writing.  One reason why Catholic school writing instruction is better is because they have another writing heavy class.

I just checked the Catholic school and local public school for our MCPS neighborhood.  The Catholic is 8 - 3 (7 hours) the public is 9:00 to 3:25 (6:25) so the Catholic school has 35 more minutes a day, or 175 more a week.  Mass is probably 45 minutes of that, so that's 2 more hours of instruction a week.  Likely more since public school dismissal takes a lot of time due to longer kiss and ride lines, and the complication of buses.[/quote]
