So much I don't know...

21. Most are worse.

I spent a decade working at a private school. It was Catholic, but was considered pretty 'liberal'. (It used to be known as the 'wild child' of the diocese.) They even had students from the local university come in to talk about subjects that made the nuns leave the room. Which was pretty astounding to me. (They also hired me, a non-Catholic, which was not as weird, because I was not faculty, but still...) I was very glad to be there, and I kept my mouth shut at first. But, when things got too stupid, I had to speak up and I promptly got fired. As I said above, the modern American school system model is about being able to remember a fact and repeat it. Nothing about applying it to their lives, or why the information is important. No discussions about the reasons behind the need for the subject or anything. Which is why I decided not to try for another position at another school. The same thing would have happened.
