Maybe, though the typical Christian School educated student scores way
above average on SAT. It is the public schools sector that teaches all
this enlightened scientific stuff to the exclusion of the Christian
perspective, that drags down the test results! You do the math. TnT

No, you do the math. most private schools (christian included) feel no
need to enroll the seriously disadvantaged (physical or mental). those
students are left to the public schools.

Liar.


the meager tax dollars allocated to the public schools must serve to
educate the entire spectrum of students. you're the entrepreneur: you
do the math.

Who do we have to blame for the "meager" amount of money given to public
schools? Why, the voters of the district, of course. If that's what they
want, that's what they should have.


btw, please check the math and science score of most christian schools:
they are atrocious!

This is a baldfaced, blatant lie.

You do realize that most of the most famous and prestigious Universities in
the US are "christian" (specifically Catholic) schools, don't you? The
Catholic church has been vigorously promoting extremely high levels of
scholarship for literally thousands of years. The Jesuits have been teaching
critical thinking since before civilization recovered from the Dark Ages. In
fact, the Catholic church, through the Jesuit order is largely responsible
for dragging the world out of the Dark Ages.


historical sidebar: so long as the catholic church had a stranglehold
of the curricula of irish schools, ireland scored among the poorest of
all western nations in math and science. the irish are now (perhaps
because they've seen the light through membership in the EU) somewhat
less enamoured with the catholic church. Hallelujah, their math and
science score are just fine, thank you very much!

Care to prove these remarkably idiotic assertions?

Ireland wouldn't have had ANY schools if it weren't for the Catholic church.
