No the are pro indoctrination because that is the reason why religious schools exist. They are to educate you into their beliefs not science or math.


I wonder if I should tell my daughter’s AP Calc and AP Physics teachers that. They may have missed the memo. They’ve been teaching math and science, not “beliefs.”

Same BS, same wasted days, same admin trying to maximize days off and gaming the system, etc. They just go to mass and religion class more - up to you if that’s worth $15,000 per year when you can go to CCD for free.


Eh speak for yourself. School calendars are pretty much the same. But it' the everything else in between that matters the most. Public schools are a wasteland of glorified babysitting. Parents have to do all the teaching after school since nothing happens during the day.

Wrong Public sends you better colleges and has science and math heads and tails over catholic schools



You are the wrong one dear. Top Catholic high schools in the DMV are sending 20%+ to top 25 universities. Top public high schools are only sending 5% to the same schools. Nice try though.

Nonsense. At least public schools are held accountable via testing and accreditation.


Cool, you can just do that.

Look behind the curtain. The tests are terrible and the data is often disregarded.

If it’s the school I think you’re referring to in alexandria city, that school also claims to be pro military family. What better way to support military families than to have numerous half days while military members are working difficult schedules or are deployed. What a crock.

Penny wise pound foolish. Every dollar parents have to spend for after care (or lost bc of time off) during these stupid half days is a dollar less parents donate to the school. I suspect that annual giving takes a real hit bc it pisses off parents so much.

How about this: if the teachers don’t like working 40 hours/week (plus summers off), like everyone else, then how about THEY leave and go to public school?

Let me know how that works out for them —. The kids at your typical ACPS school are very religious and well behaved. Best of luck.


We're not going to up end the school system because you can't figure out your childcare.


No, you just prefer to upend families’ lives bc you don’t want to work more than 30 hrs a week (with summers off).


I'm not a teacher, fool.

Private schools have shorter school years than public school.
