[Truth]

Wow! That was a nasty remark targeting public schools. All I did was state the facts and the truth. It is very expensive to go to school at Trinity. Why is it that if you mention the cost of going to Trinity it is met with nasty remarks at the public school system. Public schools are just what they are,public government run schools. They educate everyone that comes in the door,disabled,rich,poor,foriegners who can't speak english,etc.. Why wouldn't a public school get money from the government. They are held to the scrutiny in all ways of the federal and state government. One could say that Trinity slobber's at the Catholic tough. Is that any different? If private christian school's were held to the same scrutiny by the government that public school's are I think things would be different. And you are right an education at Trinity is the best education you can buy. Especially when you can pick and choose who you want and settle on the most afluent. Because the public school system educate's those you don't accept you should have a little more respect.

No, Backwoods, you did not state the truth. You wanted everyone to believe that the tuition at Trinity is used to recruit quality athletes. That is totally false and you should know it. Does, as you say, Trinity "slobber" at the Catholic trough? Of course. The difference is that, unlike the government schools, we purchase our own trough and fill it ourselves. We don't confiscate from the taxpayers as do you. In fact, in addition to filling our own trough, we pay a lot of tax dollars to help fill your trough.

The excuses you use for the government school lack of performance is exactly the reason why those who can (and all are not affluent but many actually sacrifice to get the best education and the best opportunity for their children) send their children to private schools.

As I said, you get what you pay for and that is truer in education than it is in most areas of life. As for your first sentence, the truth is sometimes seen as nasty. Still, it is the truth.
