It would be nice if people could afford private schools but many times that is not an option. When my 4 children went to catholic high school it was about $4000 a year each, By the time the last one graduated it was $7000. Now tuition is $13000.
I always thought that being in a Catholic school sheltered my children from being exposed to ungodly teachers but I was wrong. My daughter recently told me teachers would say that the school doesn’t condone talking in favor of abortion and premarital sex but ...... and then would speak in support of abortion and even homosexuality.
STATIC THINKING! You are imagining trying to put children through private school WITHOUT REPEALING THE TAXES THAT PAY FOR GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.
If government schools were abolished, all property taxes could be cut in half.
Since private schooling costs less than half as much as government schooling, there’s, in effect, more free money for schooling.
With their property taxes cut in half, all grandparents, relatives, and philanthropists could easily afford to provide the needed help for schooling for all poor children.
I ma against Catholic schools, also. They infantilize parents. As does “CCD.”
If something (the Catholic Faith) is so unimportant that parents don’t need to know it well enough to teach it to their children—which is the implicit premise of Catholic schools and “CCD”—then why should the children learn it?
Your argument that we need “free” government schools because some people can’t afford private school is an argument for Communism across the board. An argument we are losing. We now have government-run health care, 52 million people on government food, etc. Government school was the beachhead for the Communists in America.
