What bothers me the most about it is that almost all of the private schools around here are parochial.

There are number of non parochial schools and charter schools here. One non parochial private school was built nearby after the voucher law was passed. The only complaint I have is they added a traffic light.  :)

Article II, section 7, clause 2.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

Do you think any business would set up multiple locations around town for their corporate headquarters, just so everyone could work where they would prefer?  No corporation would do this if it is cheaper just to have one central location and there was no benefit to giving their workers such a luxury of picking whatever office around town they wished to work at and that being the only benefit.  That's a luxury. 

If wealthy people want that sort of luxury with private schooling for their kids, they can pay for it themself and STFU.

For most of my life private school in this area meant the Catholic school. The kids of the wealthy went there, and the kids who got tossed out of public school went there.

A Police Executive Research Forum report from 2014 showed that CBP officers were purposely placing themselves in front of moving vehicles, and then shooting at them. This isn’t something that can be reformed. Abolish ICE.

For most of my life private school in this area meant the Catholic school. The kids of the wealthy went there, and the kids who got tossed out of public school went there.

Same by me.  That's why my bro went to military schools and then Catholic school in my hometown, where he graduated.  He didn't get kicked out of public school, but he just had too many problems going there and needed more discipline.  He went to two different military schools.  I think he got kicked out of the first.  Then he had to go to another one further away.  He's always been difficult ... since he was born, my mom said.  He's not all bad.  I am only one of my siblings who hangs out with him and talks to him.  When I tell him to STFU, he listens to me.  He doesn't do that for my siblings and if he gets mad, it's even worse.  My hulk bro's wife is super sweet, would never say an unkind word to anyone, and he has said horrible things to her.

I think, especially for really privileged kids, it's good to be around normal people too and not be segregated and only go to school with wealthy kids.  It creates blinders.  I went to school with kids from all sorts of economic classes.  It didn't hurt me.  At a certain point education is all what you do with it and how much effort and how naturally intelligent you are.  In terms of what you get out of it, as long as your school is safe, it doesn't really matter so much what school you go to in reality. 

I did deal with gang sh1t going to a public high school, which I wouldn't have dealt with I went to catholic school, but my hulk bro started all that by beating a few of them up and it spiraled to many fights, drawing me in too, and eventually having a gun pointed in my stomach.

The reality is for a lot of kids, they go to even worse schools when it comes to this. I'd rather fix than than give money to rich people to send their kids to private schools.  If they do that, there is non incentive for them to fix our schools, cause they don't give a eff.  It doesn't effect their kids and they don't give a eff if it effects the kids of people who are less well off.  It's all about them.

If it weren't for my hulk bro and all that sh1t starting with him, I would have had no problems.  Many people I went to high school with had no problems and didn't deal with that sh1t, cause they didn't mix it up with the guys my bro did.  We don't take sh1t from anyone.  I don't either, but I tend to get along better with people than my bros.

If my hulk bro or sister told my black sheep bro to STFU, it would just lead to a bigger argument and spiral.  He will STFU when I tell him I am done discussing something, even if it's personal between us.

Even at my school most of the sh1t with all the gang stuff happened outside of school, except the last week of school.  I got suspended.  Some dudes were involved with some sh1t with my hulk bro.  Before class started, I walked up to one of them.  Exchanged words.  Pushed him into a locker.  Then it was on.

I think that's the only fight I had at school with them.  It's not like felt I unsafe at school or ever worried about it.

It was weekends were we had most of our problems with them when we were out partying with our friends every weekend.
