Chef Jim Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Because the public schools are worse... Parents don't give a !@#$! At least there is parental innvolvement with the Catholic schools. And... They school district can use the money with having to worry about my kids... We are a poor working class parish. That was last year's class... They closed one Catholic school and combined it with ours... Really bizarre because about 15 more 4th graders were combined with the 5th grade class last year, bringing that class to almost 30. This up coming year she will be going to another school... They will have two 5th grade classes with about 25 kids in each. Tuitution is about 4500 bucks. You gotta figure, in my district most houses go easily for a 100 grand... My was built new 17 years ago for 150. The tax base is just not there. I don't even want to see the numbers after the housing crash. Right there's your problem buddy. Private school is close to 10 times that. And I know you'll say you can't afford that but what are you thoughts about vouchers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the vouchers would help me. Subsidized by the parishioners... I kick in about 2400 dollars in weekly envelopes through the year. Quite the "socialist" system aye?
