My first wife had 12 yrs of parochial schooling. My children only had 8yrs of parochial education. they are both college grads, both with high honors, this couldn't have happened at a public school in the community they lived in.My son is now a special ed teacher, and he says he is mandatwed to teach to the test.Our public schools are doing the job they could because of politics, both federal and local standardsare used to maximize scores, and to ghell with education,So our private ivy league schools are the standard? most of CEOs with MBAs came from there, what did they accomplish with that "gold standard" education?No ethics, no moral standards, just the bottom line.Lately that bottom line has been the home to the bottom feeders of our society.
