I think Pecker just got a dose of reality and realized he could have saved thousands of dollars and his little Peckers would have gotten a better education. (If he has little Peckers...or his poppa Pecker could have not wasted money on his Pecker's inferior education)

Far to many people are selfish and very much trying to live a happy life by wasting money on dumb material items.
In general, I find that people in LA that praise public schools as being great are just focused on the fact that they are mostly white. A mostly white school that only has an average ACT score of 21 and a low arse scholarship awards history sucks.
To each his own though.

Thanks for the run-on sentence and the spelling errors. My kid can do that for free.

It doesn't make any sense at all in BR to send your kid to public school if you can afford a quality private school. I went to St. Aloysius and Catholic High. I was head and shoulders above my classmates when I started at LSU. Anyone who can afford private but chooses public in BR is just very selfish.

I'll let the 2014 kids at BRMHS that had over 7.5 million dollars in scholarships to the Ivy League, Service Academies, Stanford, Berkley, MIT, etc know their parents were very selfish.

Leon, depends where you live in BR. Zachary, Prairieville and Central folks would disagree. Zachary student just started Tulane this year with 20 credits via AP classes. The private school I went to did not even have those options.
At Zachary High, you can take a standard AP Calculus II class or one with a focus in either electromagnetism or a focus in physics. Does Catholic high offer that? That is three different versions of Calc II in high school.
Again, resources blow away private schools.

If I were forced to go to private school, I would probably do everything I could to convince people it was just as good as any private school in the state. Which is obviously not true when you objectively compare standardized test results.
I could present similar test numbers for LA public schools vs private, but we'd still get people here in denial.
"It was good relative to other public schools!" Oh ok, that doesn't make it good.

Plenty of sea specimens to examine in Destin. Epcot at Disney World has the world showcase where you can interact with the people and learn about the culture of other countries.

I went to a very average public school. I'm a dumbass and admit it.

If you have good public schools and your child wants to excel, they will.

I was talking to a kid last month that had an Associates over his senior year summer because he was allowed to cross enroll.
He had about the same credit hours and was set up to have a paid internship while going through college his first year.
fricking public schools.

You assume a private school is always > than a public school That is not always the case. Or maybe the parents want their kids to be around normal people instead of stuck up snobs.

I'm genuinely curious. Maybe your area has decent public schools, but even still, is there not a private school nearby where you don't have to settle for "decent?"
BRH and McK have always been way better than any private school.

im also assuming parents would naturally want their children to receive the best education possible.
If a kid is motivated and has interested parents, then sometimes it's good to get a life lesson somewhere that isn't squeaky clean.

Parents should seek to optimize college admissibility rather than to maximize the quality of secondary education. Its just pure economics and you don't seem to get that.

Tests scores would be skewed. Private is only well off people whose parents give a shite. Public is a mix of everything. So the dumbass kids at the crappy public schools will skew the scores.
I went to private and I am defending public, so Peckers statement about being forced does not hold water. The top tier Public schools are better than Private schools.

bullshite. Parents should continue to send their daughters to private high school.
How else will there be such a good supply of impressionable virgins ready to get back at their fathers.
