If you are considering CRMS you should be aware of the fact that this school is mainly about a faculty of left wing liberals pushing their ultra liberal political agenda on students. They will deny this of course, but their subtle way of doing it is sometimes not too subtle but very obvious. My child went there for 4 years, graduated, and only in the years after did I realize what an indoctrination the time at CRMS was! While I complained several times during the four yrs about their scheduling make up academic classes on Sunday mornings, pooh-poohing church whenever possible, giving the distorted liberal view of history in all classes, knocking all conservative ideas, etc. etc., it never helped. They became indignant and denied it. Now I realize what a misguided view of the world, from only the lens of a liberal, my child was given.
ReplyDeleteWhile the left wing politics of the faculty was not surprising, their refusal to give both sides of history and events was disappointing, irresponsible, and lame. High school age kids are super-impressionable. Seeing and hearing only the ultra left wing spin on everything from CRMS’s faculty was very hurtful to my child and to other students.
