And how does this tie into the topic at hand? Did a homeschooler type up the report on Iraq?

that's your topic at hand, but we veered from it a while ago. I'd assume that a poll would have helped you determine that. What if I said that well over 50% of those currently posting in this thread couldn't care less about the title and are posting in response to the most recent posts regarding education. Would that help?

Nope. But sticking to the topic or having the ability to create your own topic requires intelligence. Public school education strikes again.

your lack of problems doesn't do anything for / against the argument that private schools limit the exposure to diversity that public school kids get.

I personally believe, as stated earlier, that parental involvement is the greatest determinant of education quality. Students lacking in parental drive have a far more difficult road to achievement than those with overbearing parents.

Clearly people of all educational backgrounds find a way to succeed, so education is a very individual / family affair imo rather than an affair of school environment.

I am just curious what you are basing your opinion on; the private schools in your area must be derelict.

It depends on where the private schools are. One where I used to live was a shelter for white kids whose parents didn't like integrated schools. The standards of this private school were by far worse than even the lousy public schools in this county.

Another one close to where I grew up gave the kids more diversity than any of the public ones nearby.

Maybe my school was special, but we had every thing and more than a public school had in terms of every thing.

I've seen no correlation between intelligence and the ability to stay on topic on this board and even less correlation between intelligence and origination of threads.

I am public school educated through secondary level and I'm telling you that it made no difference in my education thereafter. I went to college and grad school with a lot of NE prep school types and they were no more prepared than I for advanced education.

Stuff does not equal solid education. Our current education expenditure per child relative to performance proves that point very well.

I had quite a few friends who went to St Pius and Marist...good Catholic schools here in ATL. Some were attentive and studied hard for their dollar and some cruised through with little to show. It all comes to discipline, effort, parents, etc.

It comes from you teachers preparing you for college from 7th grade on.

:good!:

This probably has nothing do to with any thing, but I had a higher grade point average in college than high schoool.
