re: In Louisiana, where are you sending your kids to private school?

I know a fair amount of dumb kids that went to private school through high school.

---

yep and i know a bunch i consider dumb that still ended up successful because it was demanded by the family

quote:

Of course. That’s why I will raise them to hang around such people. Going to a public school does not equal hanging around kids that don’t value education.

---

of course not, there are great public schools but you do understand if you go to a public school and you graduate college....you are the outlier right?

I would argue the AP program and many publics is better education than most privates...but you still have to be around the gen pop kids

quote:

That can be the case with public schools. I would like for my kids to be exposed to all types of people, it gives them a sense of what the real world is like. It’s incredible how oblivious kids who were sheltered all their lives are when they get to college. It’s up to you as a parent to teach them what type of people they should associate themselves with.

my dad says the same thing....he likes to say "you go to learn to deal with those people when you get a job" but he is wrong and you are too. I specifically made sure i have a job that I dont have to deal with the Low IQ people on a daily basis and will teach my kid to do the same.

I dont live by those people, i dont work with them, my kids dont go to school with them and stay as far as away as possible.

Damn I guess the fact that I rode a bus to school makes me trashy

---

i rode one too but i was talking specifically about the ones bussed in from out of zone specifically to meet certain demographics

but you do understand that me and you are both the exception.....its simply math man

quote:

I want my kids hanging out with other kids who have parents who are also successful. I want my kids' peers to have parents who care about their education. Are there kids that come from good families in public school? Of course, but that is also where the kids who have shithead parents go. I don't want my kid to have to be an outlier.

:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

thank you

and this goes 100000% when talking about the formative years of pre-k thru 8th

after seeing what some of the other kids are exposed to in middle school, I will shelter my kids for as long as possible.

and not saying you cant get a good education in public, but i value the catholic aspect, i value them being in an extremely safe environment and i value them not being around kids that dont want to be there that are bused in.

---

So your whole premise is based on the fact that you are Catholic (something that doesn’t apply to many), you not wanting them to be around people who ride a bus to school, and you not being confident enough in your ability as a parent to teach them what type of people to hang around to the point where you think it is harmful to be in the same building as others?

Btw, there are tons of schools that are both public and magnet. I went to them K-12.

Are you being obtuse here, or do you really not know what he's talking about. He's not just talking about kids who live near the school riding a bus to get there.

your ability as a parent

is to protect them and give them the best opportunity for success you can muster.

Sending your 12yo to sit in classes with a bunch of ghetto arse kids and being confident 'in your ability to teach your child' to not be influenced at all by the type of kids in his class, is flat out retarded.

I know some of the same that went to public schools. The point was that just because you got to a private catholic school doesn’t make you smart or well educated.

I would argue the AP program and many publics is better education than most privates...but you still have to be around the gen pop kids

I don’t consider that to be a bad thing.

---

I specifically made sure i have a job that I dont have to deal with the Low IQ people on a daily basis and will teach my kid to do the same.

---

You can do all of that and still attend a public school.

but you do understand that me and you are both the exception.....its simply math man

Sure, I think a lot of that has to do with how they are raised. I’m confident in my ability to raise my kids not to be shitheads and good members of society. If they aren’t, I would put that on me, not some randoms kids who went to the same school of 2,500 people

god damn....Supersaint from the top rope

if you want to listen to anyone, listen to him. he grew up in that shite and had to overcome like a mother fricker.

what the kids call "genpop". (If you've been to jail you know the reference)

everyone that knows your history has to be rolling right now


that is good shite

ok well then we will never agree, i dont want my kids around a bunch of low iq poor frickers

I said I don’t consider it a bad thing for my kid to have to interact with the general population. Is that a crazy take to have? Don’t we all have to interact with the general population like everyday?
