School vouchers a) are not available to every family (nor can they be used at every p/p) and b) school vouchers do not cover the entire cost of tuition at many, if not all, the p/p's.
Are you suggesting that p/p's cannot, and do not, expel students much easier than public schools can?Ratball wrote:Expelling kids, the entrance exams, etc. are all bogus arguments. I can guarantee you that Andrean is probably accepting 98% of the kids who are applying there. I bet over a quarter of the kids there are using a voucher.
Are you suggesting that the student body of a typical public school would pass the entrance exam at the same rate as the applicants to a p/p?
See comment above regarding vouchers - an argument that you admitted made sense to you, yet you continue to argue against it.
Yes, there are p/p's that do not have very competitive football programs. That not every p/p has capitalized on these advantages doesn't mean that the advantages do not exist.Ratball wrote:The point of bringing up Noll is that, by these arguments, Noll has every advantage that Andrean has, and yet their football program is not competitive at all.
P/p's can, and do, exclude students from their student body that public schools cannot exclude and must admit. A comparison of a p/p student body to a public school student body within an IHSAA athletic class generally isn't an "apples to apples" comparison.
