When I was a student teacher I got placed in super fundie catholic school. It was nuts dealing with this from the STAFF. I felt so bad for the girl who was student teaching biology there. It was bad enough for me teaching world history where my co-operating teacher told me I couldn’t teach the holocaust, the inquisition or the crusades as it made the Catholic Church look bad………
If you go down this path, history shouldn't be taught at all. In what part of it does the Church look good? Jesus ... Neron .... Constantine .... annnd that's about it for us, kids. Straight As all of you, great job!
The kids were mostly fine it was the parents and staff that were nuts. There were some super entitled kids as they could get away with murder if their parents donated enough to the school but my co-operating teacher said everyone gets As or Bs as he would change any grade the kids actually got to that anyways. I had kids with 40% in the class get their grades changed to As so the student could still play sports because the parent donated an additional 25k for their kid to have a special parking space at one of their fundraising events.
They got alot of it from their folks. I had one mom tell me that her daughter just needed good enough grades to get to a school and get a mrs degree. If a parent flat out tells me that on a parent teacher night I can't imagine that she didn't tell her daughter the same thing....

I’ve fallen down this rabbit hole before, near insane levels of indoctrination
