[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s once a year — get over it or leave catholic school.

It’s not once a year. It’s multiple weeks a year. There’s always some random “feast” (that most Catholics I know have never heard of) as an excuse to not have class. I grew up Catholic and went to a catholic school through HS — never heard of all these feasts and special days!  Is this diocese the only one that recognizes them?

Then, on top of the random feasts, now we have Inclusion Week, Bullying Week, etc etc. — each with special assemblies that take time from academics.

How about MATH week? Can we start that? [/quote]

My dc goes to BI with a lot of kids from St Mary’s and they all seem well-prepared for high school.  While I believe your complaints are genuine, I don’t think they’re all that valid.

Really op, your choices are:
1) Talk to the principal about your concerns,
2) Move your kids to a different school, or
3) Complain on DCUM for years until you send your kids to BI and then start complaining about them.  [/quote]
