What are you reading?

Speaking of hitchhiking; John Waters wrote a book about thumbing his way across the USA.

For an "on the road" book, I personally prefer Kerouac.

But, I did enjoy it. Sort of.

I think it has more to do with the fact that Catholic schools aren't free rather than the flavor of the religion or whether or not some penguin is whapping your knuckles or having you kneel on rice.

In my family we have educators in public and private (Christian) schools.
I think that education outcome differences lie mostly in the fact that private schools have the option of "asking" disruptive students to seek other education opportunities.
It's not a completely fair or unbiased world and there are statistical outliers.
In my beloved home state of Indiana some of the very old and expensive Catholic schools are....um.....'bending the rules' where certain athletically gifted students or wealthy relatives are involved.
Usually, the more 'disadvantaged' students in a private schools locally are either funded co-funded by grandparents - for all of the obvious reasons.
In the Deep South it is still not unheard of in some private schools for the "board of education" to be applied to the "seat of knowledge."
In the Year of our Lord 2025, you just have to do a little paperwork first.

Back to reading......
