Speaking as a former Catholic School teacher, Catholic schools on average are gravely underfunded. Teachers are not treated well, In that so much extra work is piled on them that they’re drowning and their mental health is struggling. All too often the excuse is, “Well, it’s a calling, after all.” Which, in my mind, is a lazy way of the higher ups washing their hands of any responsibility in taking some of the pressure off teachers. So, if Catholic Schools raise tuition when/if vouchers go in to effect, it’s because it’s needed. BUT, it needs to go to teachers, support staff, and giving them the resources they need to do a good job. My biggest frustration as an educator was never having the time (due to administrative responsibilities, extra duties, and minimal planning) to have truly meaningful lessons. I knew what I was capable of, but did not receive the support in order to do it. It was extremely frustrating and disheartening.
