[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Have you reported it? Because, no, they are not still protecting those creeps, they are reporting them, and have been since the 1980s, and they are being prosecuted just like any other abuser.[/quote]

Oh boy. Yes they still protect them, by moving them from parish to parish or to another diocese. They report when they HAVE to (a lawsuit comes to light) the church lobbies against clawback laws at the state government level when necessary.[/quote]

Did you report your first hand knowledge of this?[/quote]
