Am I reading all this correctly: Saint X and Trinity, two HIGH SCHOOLS, run advertisements in an attenpt to attract potential students in the greater Louisville area??? Really???? What's next? Since negative campaigning is the norm in politics, when will these two private schools start running ads taking pot shots at the other??? I'm sure it will eventually happen (it did in politics).

You seem to have a problem with the advertising. Trinity, x and all of the other private schools exist soley on the basis of families that have opted to send their children there. Not only that, they also start with a built in competitive disadvantage of $8,000 per year. In other words, if a family does not perceive that a private education is worth at least $32,000, they won't send their kids and spend the money. You don't have to agree with their thinking, but if they don't see the value they won't send their kids. Advertising is used to help educate people about what the school has to offer.

Nope. Not at all ...

 

 

May be I should?

Of course they advertise. They are private institutions who rely on tuition and donations to subsist. They don't receive government funding, and running a school ain't cheap, to say the least.
