the kids that went to private when I was in school were all shite heads with rich parents

Bro, just send em to public schools, whatever happened to you in HS you can't shake it and will trickle down to your offspring. Most parents can figure out what is best for their kids without the OTs help. I know tons of good and bad kids from both private and public schools..but somehow EVERY kid you know from private schools are "shite heads"

Most of the private schools around here for the 6-8th grade range are about 14 a year and get more expensive the higher the grade

In BR this is certainly the case. You might be able to pay 10k for elementary school but by JR high you'll be well above that, particularly after all of the fees you pay that aren't in the tuition amount.

But that’s just for the very high end. The Catholic schools are going to run less than that.

I just don’t know much about the Hammond schools. However on the Northshore, it seems like either decision is fine. Some doctors, lawyers, and CPAs sent their kids to catholic schools and others went the public route. In general, everyone ended up fine.

And unlike in Baton Rouge, the kids who attended public schools certainly didn’t go there bc they were kicked out of the good private schools.

Public schools in EBR are like general population.

Private schools, especially the catholic high schools, are like prison camps where you get detention for short socks or sharing your lunch. And the rules are different depending on the parents, $$ and other stuff that is a little shady.

Basically, kids are screwed.

it is different than even ten years ago around here——public schools suck and every private school here is busting at the seems.

i sent one through public and he finished 12 years ago—he really wasn’t prepared as he should have been in math but caught up and is an engineer. My other went public till eight grade and then private.

No possible way I would send a kid to public school today. It is the government schools and all that entails versus private schools.

Seems like hyperbole, but "Oh no! Rules to follow."

I went to a “great” public school but the kids who went to the nearby catholic school simply blew away my classmates (on average). Even if we ended up at the same college, the post grad results were quite different (again, on average)

I slummed it at LSU but was in the Honors College to start. I was there with kids from all the big schools. Jesuit, Brother Martin, Episcopal, Catholic, LSMSA, etc. There was no difference outside of like 3 of the top-shelf LSMSA kids b/c they loved doing school. It wasn't even an intelligence or output thing as much as they just loved being in school and being the perfect representation of a drone in that setting. They're the only ones who stuck it out the whole way (all the really smart people got out once we had priority scheduling).

It depends where you live, really.

However, living in the Madisonville, Mandeville, Covington area I can tell you right now that you could not pick out where these kids went to school if they were in a public place. They all act the same, and look the same.

If a kid goes to St. Paul, Hannan, or any other private school, it’s simply a flex by the parents. They love saying their kids go to private schools in an area where the public schools are just as good.

Now in NOLA…kids are almost required to go to private schools to get a good education.
