But again I ask, What are the justifications? Right now I see a set of rules that apply equally to both private and public schools. That looks fair to me. What about the current rules is unfair?

Yet it appears unfair to the public schools. The public schools while allowed to draw kids from other surrounding schools that is NOT their mission. Their educational mission is to educate kids from their community. To draw from kids OUTSIDE of their community would be to step away from their education mission.

 

Different education mission for the private schools. There mission is to educate kids of a certain faith. And that is a GREAT mission. And their mission encourages them to draw from several communities.

 

So two different school systems that have two different missions that have the same rules but should not be operating the same.

 

A private and public school are not and should not be the same and they are not.

A private and public school are not and should not be the same and they are not.

Absolutely wrong. A private school is one that does not receive public funding. Period. A private school does not have to be faith-based. But even the ones that are faith-based accept students from religions other than their own. Their primary purpose, just like the publics, is education.

Disagree, sort of. While the basic foundation is education, a public school's mission is to educate students in a specific community, while a private school's mission is to educate students of a specific faith. They may accept others outside that community or faith but that is NOT their primary mission. So their primary missions run in conflict of one another. Nothing wrong with either and both are needed. But they are different.

No. The representatives from each school should be trusted to do what is best and vote according to the views of their district. Each individual delegate can seek out opinions from the district/community they represent, if they so choose.

I think something of such magnitude should be explained to the general public. I think the coward who will vote for seperation shoud have to explain to a private school student they are being punished for being to good.

Your wrong. Simply just wrong.

The representative is a representative of a community and is only held accountable to those that they represent.

Your wrong. Simply just wrong.

why? Is a public school committed to something different than educating youth in their community? Is a private school committed to educating students and not including classes based on their faith?

IMO, a private school has a much better chance of educating your child than a publice school does. They just aren't saddled with all of the programs and problems that public schools are.

 

Maybe we need to start looking at testing scores to see if there's similar problems in the education area. We might need to submit proposals that prevent the privates from doing so well on the ACT and SAT.

But would you agree that most private and public schools are designed to serve different groups of people. Private schools generally an area of faith that will have them serving different communities while public schools are generally designed to serve a single community (city or county)

Both's schools mission are to educate the community, some private schools just add onto that mission to educate in a faith based manner. But the general mission is one and the same. Some of the approaches might differ , but the missions are still the same.

The difference is a private schools is forced because of the few numbers to educate a larger community that wants a faith based education.

 

Holy Cross for example will take any student out of Scott, Sk, or Holmes district who wants a faith based and more disciplined education. They still face the same problems. I don't see how pullinig from 3 districts is unfair since Holy Cross does not equal in student enrollment even half of one those schools student enrollment.

I think our disagreement is just semantics or how we are wording it. I agree that a private school educates using it's faith as it's foundation. Public schools, not sure what their foundation is.

 

My point is that public schools are generally aimed at one community (city or county) while a private school is generally aimed at anyone of a certain faith that might come from a multitude of communities.

And that is what I am trying to get across that based upon the nature of their mission, they have different methods to accomplish. A public school should not be trying to draw from different communities, a private school must.

I don't see why this is a problem since people that want this sort of education is a minority. A private can just pull from a surronding neighborhood because the numbers just don't pony up.

 

The problem here is some people have been ponied into believing that Catholic schools go out and recruit students based on athletic ability. Which is not the case. I would say 95-98 percent of all student athletes at a Catholic high school went to one of the feeder parish grade schools or was atleast part of the parish. I don't think any private schools receive any more non-feeder school kids than any other high school in NKY public or private.

 

The problem is the myth. The reason Catholic schools are successful is because sports are a big deal in our community and the structure in which we have are youth grow up in athletics.

I would agree with this.
