re: #56 Mich-again

My parents paid for me to attend 12 years of Catholic school. My oldest son on the other hand went to public school for 12 years. He entered college far more prepared for engineering classes than I was and he was far less exposed to drugs and alcohol than I was in high school. I know so many parents who just think you can write a check for Catholic school and everything will be fine with their kid. It doesn’t work like that.

very true. i drove 35 min to a Catholic HS because both the public school and the Catholic school down the street were awful.
