All Public School Championship Weekend

Overall, we have inferior government schools in the Commonwealth which are teaching more social and political correctness and less reading, writing, and arithmetic. No honest person, private or government, can deny that.

So, instead of continually taking shots at the private schools, why don't you improve the government schools? I have nothing whatsoever to do with your schools but I sure pay an obscene amount of property and income taxes to help fund your "operation". It would be nice to get a decent return on the investment.
Actually, the local taxes pay more towards local schools than "your" taxes do here. Sounds like your axe to grind is with the local public schools there moreso than here.

As for my last paragraph, it is true. In order to meet accreditation standards, even private and Christian schools must meet certain state government set standards. All colleges to my knowledge also require for admission, a diploma from an accredited school. So, it stands to reason, while private schools may establish standards above and beyond those imposed by states, they must, at a minimum, teach to at least the same minimum standards public schools do. Look no further than this article here. http://www.kystandard.com/content/diplom...reditation

I have no bone to pick with private schools in regards to academia. IDO think there should be more controls in regards to the amount of recruiting they are allowed to do for sports, but that's a different argument. My point of contention is that you lump all "government" schools together as if they are all failing the system and failing society. That is not true. You initiated taking shots, sir. I'm just pointing out how ludicrous some of your points are. The shots I took were at YOU. Then again, that old bane of SOME people (reading comprehension) seemingly reared it's ugly head for you.

Not much improving is needed at the school my children attend. They are a top 10 district in the state, continually send the vast majority of their graduates to college, including just 2 years ago having 100% of that graduating class accepted into colleges, along with literally over 1 million dollars in scholarships, etc for that class. Then again, why confuse YOU with facts if they aren't relevant to your high-minded flights of private school "betterness"?
