Local parish school in Philly. Classes taught by nuns (Sisters of St Joseph) who had no training in education. Class sizes of 50+ with one nun and no assistant. Textbooks that were 15-20 years out of date. Discipline was far more important than content. Survived.
I bet that at least your nuns had English as a First Language!
