Seems to me, if I'm reading you right, all of the factors you mentioned would be MORE conducive to a better learning environment, thus, more conducive to a better education.


Parental involvement or parents rubbing elbows with teachers has nothing to do with the teacher's actual teaching performance.

Public schools have better teachers, the only difference is that they're more likely to get students of apathetic or overworked parents.

I've been fortunate enough to teach at both public and private schools to draw comparisons, another teacher who posts on TD wholeheartedly agreed with me.

my kid would more than likely go to public school, granted, it won't be in baton rouge.

This thread ended up where I figured it would, defending the indefensible, and I don't mean Chick-Fil-A hiring practices, I mean the level of education in BR public schools.

How many people are aware that many schools abandon curriculum for LEAP test coaching? Not that the politically correct curriculum is worth a shite, but at least it's something. MY wife was asked to do exactly that and refused, was threatened with disciplinary action until I spoke to friend on the school board. She stuck to her regular curriculum and all of her students passed LEAP.

What I want to know is where do the "non-diverse" entry level workers get jobs here, they are not in fast food? In areas of the country where there is no "diversity" the FF workers are all Jack & Molly & Heather & Dustin, where do they work here? They are not all at Chick-Fil-A and Canes.

I love it how people make so many general assumptions about a group of employees. Of course, all fast food employees anywhere must be unintelligent - only courteous. That's not an unitelligent generalization at all.

Firstly I will say that I worked at Sonic in High School and later I worked at Chick-Fil-A. At that time, I was a hard-working individual who was in National Honor's Society. Imagine that. A smart fast food worker. What a concept?

Never once in my experience, at either of these establishments, was I asked to participate in any prayer, nor was I asked to divulge my religious status. Again, imagine that.

Sometimes people should admire others' work ethics rather than just assume they are dumb.

If you're shelling out thousands of bucks a semester, you should probably worry more about the educational background of the teachers, more so than whether or not they worship at the same church as you.


From what I've seen, parents spend the big bucks because they are worried about the OTHER kids their children will be exposed to, not the quality of the teachers themselves. That being said, if I was a parent with kids in Cathlic school, and I found out that you lied on your application or taught something contrary to the belief system of the school, I'd push to have you fired. Since you weren't teaching a religion class, but probaly something like a science or English, I'm sure it wouldn't become an issue.

Full Disclosure: I went to public schools my whole life, while my wife, nephew, and nieces go/went to private Catholic schools.

I hate to burst the private school bubble, but Afreaux is correct. You need to have the horses to run the race.

I proudly send my child to EBR schools. He is gifted, and there isn't a private school around that can give him the education he currently gets. I'd rather him be working on great project-based, real world learning activities than sitting in chapel.

I've never been to chik-fil-a, but then again, I'm going to hell.
