re: #138 Mostly sane, most of the time.

How many people do you know have the option to choose between private and public schools—and pick the public?

Me and my wife did for our 3 children.

The first two have already graduated from public high school and are attending college with full ride scholarships for tuition. The oldest will graduate in Electrical Engineering in December. Our 3rd child is starting 10th grade and is on the same course. And get this.. There are about 50% African American students at their school. Crimeny! I know.

I went to Catholic Schools for 12 years. My impression is that the primary difference between public and private schools is that private school kids have access to better drugs.
