Exactly my point. They tend to do a better job of educating w/o all the indoctrination and they should not be destroyed by those with sensitive emotions who want the feel good "solution" as the person I originally posted to seems to want.
I look at this story as an attempt to undermine private/Christian schools and some here are taking the emotional bait.
I look at this story as a sad testiment of a religious school who (1) knew they did not have the resources to take this on and (2) somehow agreed, in some manner, to do so. They took the money of parents with a kid who has a life threatening sickness, knew the kid would be out a lot given the treatment regimen, and said 'yes.' And the parents are paying for this...go figure.
This is not the case of some illegal immigrant kid who can't speak the language, does not have the money to attend and fails their courses. That is not the case. Catholic schools in poor neighborhoods already do that and subsidize that. The kid has cancer....You would think they would know she would have attendance issues and maybe need a couple of weeks after school ending to make up some assignments. The school is stupid for taking this on and the parents for paying for it.
