It is a shame that people with less money are forced to have their children go to worthless public schools..
Maybe we will get smarter and demand vouchers.

Good on you Lazs... But I have to ask, "What is with the local Church, regardless of religion, that they can't take care of their own parishioners?" ...hmmm?
Don't know what the tuition fee is for Catholics, who are arguably the richest of religions, but I think that they offer lower fees thatn other private schools do.
So what about the other religions at the local level? Is
your (everyones) church doing more for the community in this vein, or is your church one of those, "Come to Sunday Social Clubs"?
Would be interesting to find out what level of community interaction the local churches into, and what level of parishoner interaction/funding is needed to sustain a school run by a church.
Who knows... you might see a marked improvement in academic scoring if more churches offered affordable alternate schooling to their public.
