re: Schools and teachers are a Joke

I'm a product of private school and send my children to one. In places like St Tammany, the education usually isnt much better if at all. You're paying so your kid can have some religious influence in his life and avoid seeing fights.

I'm glad someone gets it.

Look, if you want to pay thousands of dollars per year so your kid can get an hour of religion a day instead of 2 hours a week at Sunday school, I can respect that.

But anyone who thinks the education itself is that much better, and certainly worth the cost of tuition, is deluding themselves.

After 2 years of a very underwhelming catholic school education, we decided to save the 5K per year per kid, enroll them in the A rated blue ribbon winning public school we are zoned to, pay $75 a year per kid for parish school of religion, and take the $9,850 difference and save some of it and spend the rest of it on them having a great childhood with lots of experiences.
