Thanks for a great post. I have forwarded the article to members of our local school board and editors of our local newspaper.

And by the way, in our little burg, per pupil costs average about $13,000 per year, compared to less than $4-6,000 in the NYC Catholic schools!

Here in Mpls we'er at $11,000. Now I wouldn't mind spending the money if the kids came out of school knowing something, other than PC.

This is slightly off the subject of catholic schools, but a couple of years ago there were figures showing that the state of Utah was 4th from the bottom in school expenditures but 4th from the top in test scores, so there must be more to it than just money.
