Failed Exam: Study Shows Lower Math Scores In Catholic Schools

Voucher boosters have promised a lot. Study after study has shown that
they
have failed to deliver.
It has been a rough couple of months for advocates of private and
religious
school vouchers.
First, voters in Utah – the reddest red state in the nation – went to the
polls and trounced a voucher scheme that misguided legislators had tried
to
foist on them.
Then, a researcher examining Wisconsin’s voucher program for children in
Milwaukee determined that students in the plan are doing no better
academically than their public-school counterparts. The finding is similar
to other studies that have been released over the years.
Now comes a real shocker: A researcher has determined that students
attending Catholic elementary schools make no more progress in reading
than
similar students in public schools, and they do even worse in math.

USAF LT. COL (Ret) Buffman (Glen P. Goffin) wrote
"You pilot always into an unknown future;
facts are your only clue. Get the facts!"
That philosophy 'snipit' helped to get me, and my crew, through a good
many combat missions and far too many scary, inflight, emergencies.
It has also played a significant role in helping me to expose the
plethora of radical Christian propaganda and lies that we find at
almost every media turn.
