Kids who both scored over 30 on the ACT, and both attended Division 1 schools paid for with scholarship money, their own part-time job money, and the continued financial assistance of both full time working parents. Parents who have paid their fair share of taxes into a public school system that fails every single year. <br /><br />Let's see now. Did we participate fully in our children's education? You betcha, we did. Did we expect someone else to pay for and "bring up" our kids? NO, we did not. <br /><br />We are not rich. The only thing we wanted was a good education for our children. An education that continued on through college putting them on the path to a productive live as adults. Will they be sucking at the government teet, producing illegitimate children, and expecting someone else to take care of them? I doubt it...But, it was not the public school system that put them on this road to success. It was their parents making the decision early on that they would not be exposed to the gutter that the KCPS system is....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-18139952725003622452013-12-29T12:23:30.613-06:002013-12-29T12:23:30.613-06:00The demographic you should be using is the increas...The demographic you should be using is the increase in the Hispanic population which would fit the story about Catholic schools. KCPS will be a majority Hispanic district in the near future. However, KCPS will likely be gone at that point and you will have a bunch of charter schools whose test score you can sweep under the carpet one at a time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-48953509400656654222013-12-29T07:06:21.599-06:002013-12-29T07:06:21.599-06:00The Catholic Church (in greater numbers than any o...The Catholic Church (in greater numbers than any other church) abandons the poor. Shortage of priests? Close churches in low income neighborhoods! Very Christian, indeed! The Catholic Church and all of its entities (where they invest millions in the guise of doing "God's work) should be fully taxed, as any other profit-centered corporation, should be fully taxed.
