The above comment kind of brings the difference between parochial and public school scores into a little better focus now doesn't it. Nope. The poor usually don't do all that well in school ... and money is needed for private schools. You missed the boat yet again. Your anti-religious obsession seems to be clouding your thinking on this issue. As much as you may HATE to admit it, parochial school students generally score higher scholastically than their public school counterparts up through high school. You don't know what "counterparts" is. HTH -- Cliff |

The poor usually don't do all that well in school ... and money is needed for private schools. Cliff: So you're changing your tune and now admitting that those that can AFFORD to go to private (parochial) schools do better? LOL That's another subject: they do better in public schools as well. And live longer too, usually. You've confused cause & effect and added in cherry-picked data. You missed the boat yet again. I doubt it. The REASON private school students do better on scholastic tests is irrelevant to your original comment below: Nope. And Blacks in NY city were used as the case in point IIRC. ================================================= ======== Cliff wrote: "I have the distinct impression that the students from religion schools usually know a bit less about many things .... such as science, biology, mathematics, logic, reason, history .... and are pretty brainwashed (but clueless in reality) on certain other subjects." ================================================= ========= You made a vast sweeping generalization based on an "impression". I just countered your "impression" with some data about the comparison of public vs. parochial school test scores that showed parochial school students did better on scholastic tests. You cherry picked in promoting religion. http://www.heritage.org/Research/UrbanIssues/BG1128.cfm Propaganda from fundies & wingers trying to get state-funded religion (Catholic). Your anti-religious obsession seems to be clouding your thinking on this issue. As much as you may HATE to admit it, parochial school students generally score higher scholastically than their public school counterparts up through high school. You don't know what "counterparts" is. It's really quite simple, "counterparts" in this context would be, for example, the comparison of scores from 5th, 9th, 12th, (or whatever grade), students from public schools with the same grade students from private (parochial) schools. Nope. You have to screen for more than that to compare to even try to support the silly claims. -- Cliff |
