[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blame ACPS and FCPS. They pay their damn bus drivers $28/hour (and rising every quarter) and their teachers a whole lot more, so the only way for Catholic schools to compete is to reduce instruction time. Instead of complaining, advocate for school choice and vouchers. That’s the only way to shake things up and effect change. [/quote] I’m a Catholic school teacher who has worked in public. Regarding instructional hours: just because students are in school, they aren’t necessarily receiving instruction. I may teach fewer days now, but I get through so many more skills. Part of it is that Catholic schools don’t have the overemphasis on testing, so we don’t spend as many school days on county and state tests. Part of it is more streamlined, thoughtful curricula.
