[quote=Truth]I'll take you at your word although your post #31 implies some advantage held by Trinity that puts our government schools at an unfair disadvantage.

The factors mentioned in your post concerning the populace of the government schools versus the populace of the private schools are true. However, those factors don't change the reality of the situation. Private schools don't have the "baggage" carried by the government schools. I realize that there are reasons for this but, regardless of the reasons, it is still a fact.

As for the tax dollars, it may well be worth "a few extra tax dollars" to run the government schools if the funds were responsibily spent. That is not the case.[/QUOTE]

I will agree with you on that but,only on a case by case basis. Harlan Ind. does a wonderful job at spending the money on an education first agenda. Sports recieves very little and our football team recieves very little of the gate at a football game and none of the concessions. The football team survives mainly on what little gate we recieve and parent/booster contributions. The administrators at Harlan Ind. see to it that the student's have what they need to get as good of an education as one can get in a public school and that is the way it should be. Listen,I could care less if their is recruiting in high school sports. There will always be school's out there that cheat one way or another but,most don't. Cheater's always get their's in the end. Trinity has always had a top notch private school in my opinion and they are good for the high school football community here in Kentucky. They are bringing the spotlight here and that is always good. But,they are still expensive.Lol j/k.

We are somewhat in agreement. I wish the Harlan Independent Schools the best except, of course, when they compete with a private school.
