[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - reason I was asking is I went to school in the UK- public school.

We had prayers in assembly most days and at lunch.

We all learned to read and write, far far better than what I am seeing at my MCPS public school.  It’s insane how poor of an education MCPS is providing and how little anyone seems to care!

I know exactly what you mean as I taught in the UK. Most state ( public ) schools are affiliated with a church ie. St peter's roman catholic school . But it's very light. Just a few religious assemblies and usually some religion classes that teach all religions. I agree about the writing instruction being a lot better in the UK and the closes I've found here are the catholic parochial schools. They really seem to be teaching the way I remember school being taught in the 80s and 90s in the US. If that's your vibe, go for it. I also like the shorter classes ( 30-40 min at ours) and the emphasis on writing plus very little tech use for now. Although the academics per se are probably on par with public, the whole set up is different so kids have more guidance and general more oversight from teachers than they did in public. In public the general consensus seemed to be that kids did well if they were from an educated background no matter what and others lagged behind. There seems to be a lot more accountability in the parochial school and as a result we don't mind the religious part. Quite the contrary. There are good lessons to be learned and our kids enjoy the stories.  [/quote]

Why do you specific Catholic parochial and not other Catholic schools? [/quote]
