[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest attends a NOVA Catholic high school (certainly a sports-focused environment) where the class sizes are reasonable and we don't get phone calls or emails about poor performance. The thing to remember is that the kids are in high school now so they're expected to manage their work load and be proactive in reaching out to the teacher for help if they need it.

Ew. Any public school comment always brings out the supposed non MAGA Catholics. [/quote]

DP. I’m not a MAGA Catholic, but I am a person who has taught in both public and Catholic high schools. They simply don’t compare. In public, I was tasked with performing miracles with no resources. I burned out. In private, I am given the resources and respect to do my job well.

It’s about teacher support and teacher morale, and the publics aren’t doing well on either front right now.

And this has nothing to do with politics or religion. It’s about resources. [/quote]

But, no when you teach or have your kids attend a Catholic school, it absolutely IS about the religion.  That is the point of their religion classes and chapel.  It is very, very clear.  You may be happier with being able to kick behavior issues out, or problem parents out or whatever, but that doesn’t change the fact that religious schools teach religion.  They aren’t sponsoring public schools, they aren’t tending to the poor students en mass.  These are Catholics who accept money from people to teach their children reading, writing, socialstudies and religion.  [/quote]
