Yep. Magnets are not as popular to students as you think. They are overrated. I believe they should open vocational schools back up. Most of these magnets require higher education for employment. Simply going to a school with a magnet won't guarantee you a job when you get out. Most of them will have to go onto technical school or college in that field.

 

 

 

I notice that Moore is listed as a Traditional school, like Butler and Male.

 

 

Also the point of a Magnet program is to offer a program that INTERESTS the kid. It doesn't promise them a job. However, it does increase the probability that the kid will attend a post-secondary institution. Interesting that the graduation rates and % going to college has increased year after year, since the magnet school inception.

The schools that are trying to get the private schools a separate division, do they expect to gain anything besides a few state championships here or there? Shirley they don't think there enrollment will go up or think that this will have any affect on their academic standards?

Don't call me Shirley. And possibly enrollment will go up. If you are playing football for a private school and know you are not going to win a state championship because you can't beat St. X and football is the main thing in your life, would you consider attending a public school that will be playing for a state title.

What Holy Cross are you talking about? You aren't talking about the one in Louisville?

 

He's talking about Covington Holy Cross, which is in the Latonia neighborhood.

It's been said that 4A football is the only sport with that dominance. Wouldn't the other sports that attract the athletes more than outweigh the football numbers?

Oh, well I don't know the Covington area but if it is that small then why would they put a private school in that area? Is there a public school nearby?

lots of schools are listed as traditional. Ignore that. They try to add that to atract more students. True traditional programs such as Male and Butler have the power to kick any kid out. Moore, Fern Creek don't.

Students in need that are talented athletes - not always devote Catholic's in need.

 

:

 

The Catholic schools I know of do not take into account one's religion when determining financial need nor should they.

 

Mike Mitchell was a heck of an athlete and got ZERO financial aid and was even required to pay more to go to CCH due to living out of district.

Oh, well I don't know the Covington area but if it is that small then why would they put a private school in that area? Is there a public school nearby?

 

Isn't there a public school near every private school?

Well, if this was just about academics then the issue wouldn't be coming up. If winning the state championship didn't mean anything, then why are the private people so mad?

Possibly and possibly some students will return to public schools. I still maintain that there are some students that make the choice for private schools because they see that as their BEST chance for athletic success and exposure. Now, the PERCEPTION might be that their public school has a chance, they may save that tuition money they have been shelling out and compete with the public school. REmember 280 schools and only 48 are private. That means there are still 232 public schools and if you win the district/regional/state championship of an organization with 232 members, it will mean something to them, no matter if the private schools are members or not.

I don't understand the difference between a "true" traditonal program and whatever the other is.

 

 

OK...then what about the Graphic Communications program? Should Moore scrap that?

It's Class A in size. I don't know the history of the school all that well, but I think it was combined from a couple of schools. It is a companion to a neighborhood church, from the way I understand it. It's a good five miles away from Covington Latin, and perhaps 10 from CovCath.

I would think so but I am not sure, but the point was that all public schools are put there for a purpose, to serve their communities first, supposed to be the same with privates but they have the advantage of getting to reach out regionally to get students.

While Covington Catholic was formed originally in the city of Covington, it has moved to Park Hills . Holy Cross is the ONLY Catholic school that serves the true city of Covington.

But how could you call yourself "State Champions?"
