    Catholic school wasn't easy and still isn't ... you have to earn your grades the hard way ... you don't want to play by the rules? ... **** ...

    expensive though but worth every cent ... if you can survive the curriculum and decorum of a Catholic school, you can easily get through university and life beyond ...

    The issue is why isn't it more popular considering the number of eligible people who don't even apply. I don't know any of the students and doubt that there is a single answer to that question so I am fine with then taking a gap year to see if they can figure it out. "More homework" isn't going to be that appealing to 6th graders so perhaps there is a starting point.

    So you're arguing that that the program was keeping qualified kids out?

    Its pathetic this site allows links by gateway pundit and breitbart. Yet I can't "flame bait" and call out the extremists and their fake sources.

    The tolerant left ladies and gentleman.

    When the left does something indefensible, just insult the right, it's the tolerant way.

    This can't be defended, so just move on. You literally have nothing here.

    Ok I lied, keep posting, the entertainment value is too good.

    No, I don't know that. I simply explained some common sense parameters for inclusion.

    One of your own started a thread today about how poorly American kids are doing in school, and even though the crap Boston is doing certainly contributes to it, it seems easier for you to ignore the problem and condemn the source when that problem is presented to you.

    Then that wasn't already happening. Is that what you are saying?
