have you ever been to a catholic school and how did they treat you?

Answer 1

Yes, I went to catholic grade school (Started in kindergarten) all the way up to graduating to catholic highschool.

They treat like they are your parents....tuck your shirt in....comb your hair, pull your pants up. A lot of some stupid stuff. At the samtime you gain structure and sense of pride in yourself without even knowing it. They can be close minded in regards to careers and all but after highschool it's a whole new game.

They actually make you have awesome handwriting.

Answer 2

I went to a Catholic high school after 9 years of public school. I really liked it, actually. We didn't wear uniforms, though, so that was probably a big plus.

The schooling WAS hard. But in the end you'll be glad that it was. I dropped out of college because my high school as harder than college, in my opinion, and I still have a great job. In fact, where I'm from, it's a big plus to have that school on your resume. The teachers used to hunt me down if I didn't turn in an assignment .. public school was not like that. The students tend to be nicer and more compassionate than at a public school. I'm not bashing public schools, because I went there for 9 years. I just hated the kids because they were always so nasty to everyone that I wanted to switch schools. We didn't have the ability to go between districts like they do now, so I went to a Catholic school 30 miles away. I really, really didn't mind it. Seriously, it wasn't that bad.

They treat you like a human. They expect more out of you, and expect you to explain yourself when you screw up. They treat you like an adult and expect you to act older than a 5 year old. That's how it was by my school, and it has served me well. I own up to my mistakes, and I don't lie, and I can't tell you how far that has gotten me at work. My word means something, yanno?

Answer 3

Yep, for four years, and an all-boys school to top that off. It did a great job of turning me away from the religion, and taught me that life isn't all about academics but survival with their borderline dictatorship. This is just an example of how strict they were. In the middle of June we were forced to wear our sweaters because it was part of the school uniform. Yep, cruel and unusual punishment. And because of this oppression, there were fights almost every day (there have been shootings between students now, and twice in a semester is too frequent for me).

I transfered to a public school for my OACs (we had 13 grades in Ontario at one point) and it was great. Teachers had so much more respect for you, everybody got along (except for your usual girlish squabbles), it had a/c, and they actually had toilet paper. Also, I learned about other people's religions and beliefs and that everybody should respect them individually; unlike the catholic school where they preach that all the other religions are wrong. That's just my two cents.

Oh, I forgot, the UNIFORMS. They blow so much propoganda bullcrap up my butt about how it's supposed to be for security purposes. Hello?!! Even in that day and age, if I really wanted to do some damage, I'll just borrow a uniform from someone, get inside the school and wreak havoc. It's just like not having uniforms. It's just a money-grab thing...such a disgrace.

Answer 4

I attended Catholic schools and I thought they treated their pupils very well. The ones who behaved badly were punished for their actions, so naturally they hated it. I also remember that Catholic school students behaved and dressed better at functions then some of the public school kids. Noticed I didn't say all, so don't start yelling at me. In high school there were sluts and drugs and parties though just like any other schools.

Answer 5

I taught at one.....The kids were far more respectful than their public school peers. They were more academically inclined than their public school peers. In general they were more serious about their educations than their public school peers.

My students were middle schoolers and over the school year some new kids came into my classes. The new kids were accepted by the kids who had been there since kindergarten.

You will get a better education at a Catholic school than in many public schools! You are expected to LEARN!

Since so many non-Catholics go to Catholic schools, the religion is pretty generic, especially on the K-8 level.

Answer 6

I went to catholic grade school and high school and i have to say grade school was way more traumatic than high school and it was definitely because of how mean the nuns were. They needed to get laid or something. I don't normally say such things but let me tell you it makes no sense that the nuns were mean. Hellllo i can't help but think of the father, son holy ghost, love and all that good stuff all i remember were nuns yelling and beating the crap out of the kids. The only reason high school was better was by 1988 there were no more nuns teaching at my local high school.

Answer 7

I went to catholic school for 5 years and i got treated like one of those. I had problems with the religion views and i got banned from religion excercises because i opposed there views but as i matured i just got along with it. The only problem was they where always at church and like you had to take part. Also with catholic schools, religion comes first before anything like sports. I hope that hepls you

Answer 8

12 years of a Catholic school--some treated me well,others not so great.

Answer 9

I went to a catholic school and it was pretty much the same thing.

Answer 10

I never went to anything but public schools but my husband went to catholic school until 9th grade. He was miserable there. He ended up at a local tech school and wasn't thrilled there either but he was far from miserable.
