Catholic schools have been successful with kids from chaotic backgrounds anyway, by stressing confidence in childrens’ potential, and high standards.

Also enforcing discipline. A kid can’t learn in a chaotic environment.

As someone who went to 16 years of Catholic school, I will agree with you.

But public schools to some extent have their hands tied because they are not as free to promote a particular set of values.

When we were a largely white, Protestant country, this was less problematic for public schools because of widely held shared beliefs. That is no longer the case.

I see your problem right THERE: govt skools don’t have no standards /s

How could you, when one is REQUIRED to house every miscreant, thug, disruptive, abuser and dip-shit w/ no recourse??

Were schooling paid by those utilizing the service (vis a vie college\etc.), I’d damn sure guarantee the rates would be going up.

When ANY ONE needs to sign a check for the year (even 1/2) and little Johnny/Jane were expelled w/o refund or receives sh!tty teaching/grades, you’re damn sure the signer is going to worry about the quality/$$$/discipline.

Else, nobody gives a crap, unless it’s THEIR ‘special little angel’, since it’s FREE.
