That's not the point, idiot. The point is that they have been paying the freight for eight fucking years and they'd rather send them "free of charge" to the suburban public high school they live in that's academically on par, or better, than the catholic high schools in reach.Derron wrote:The point is exactly that. There are a ton of kids locally that attended Catholic grade and middle schools, and with a high quality of education, they kick n back for 4 years of public high school at 3.75 or better. Easily.
It's a fallacy that all catholic high schools are these academically superior institutions to their public school brethren. Sure, they'll be able to kick back and get a 3.75 or better if they go to an inner city school system like, say, KCMO public schools or DCPS or whatever struggling inner-city system we're talking about.
I have to use my experience in Grand Rapids for background. The local catholic high schools were good academic schools, but they weren't any better academically than many of the suburban public high schools. The advantage the parochial schools have over the public ones is they don't have to admit the shitheads, the losers, the criminals and the overall pieces of shit who are going ruin the academic environment for others.
