How diverse can it be when all the kids look them same, drive high end cars their parents buy them and 95% of them are the same race.


WTF does that mean? Clean? Well mannered? Good posture?

Man, I read your post a couple of times and there is a resentment in there...I'm not sure where it comes from, but you have it. You throw the doctor thing around and talk of your wife's job and your wife's friends...Do you work? Why the complex? Then you throw diversity crap out there and race issues.

I'm sure they're getting a good education but I feel my kids are getting just as good an edu if not better


So you don't know of their curriculum, but you think you are sure yours is just as good or better?

Just to be honest, it is obvious you know private is better and can't get your kid there for whatever reason....but there is a reason.




But let's do a test.....please tell us the 2 schools in play here, the one private and the one public....let's compare the graduating class and the academic scholarships earned as a percentage of the class. I'll prove to you the private is probably WAY ahead.

What this means is there are private schools here in Memphis where the classes are 95% white. Not all of them but most.

WTF are you talking about? I was in no way throwing my wife's job around. The fact is there are well educated people in the world, doctors, lawyers blah blah, that choose to send their kids to public schools that are just as good as private schools. What difference does it make if I work? If it's that important to you I am a stay at home dad. Where do you get I have a complex about private schools? The majority of my family has sent or is sending their kids to private schools so I know EXACTLY what the curriculum is at their school. So no it's not obvious to me that private schools are better in my situation. Having three kids in the Optional Program the school they are in is considered to be one of the best in Memphis. It's none of your goddamn business which school it is. But if you truly care they are in the White Station school district. The graduation class at White Station High had close to $35 million in scholarships/grants. So if you can prove to me that MUS, CBHS, ST. Marys, St. Agnus, Hutchison or any other private school here in Memphis had that much money awarded, then fantastic for them. Do you normally get this butt hurt over other peoples opinion?
