Well, it would, if it were Governemnt funded. or if people were forced to go there. However it's a private institution and people aren't forced to send their kids there (I know I wouldn't).

And missionaries are con artists.

I don't see the difference.  People aren't forced to accept missionaries help... and hell, even if they want the help don't have to listen to it.

Versus Catholic schools, where if you do want the help of supeiror schooling you do need to listen to their religious teachings.

Either way, people should look harder at those schools and see why they do so much better.

...And its for the reasons I've been preaching to Sapphi's deaf ears.

In a market system, bad schools fail. If a Catholic school provides a horrible education, no one will send their kids there, and it dies. With a public school, it usually gets more and more public funding to fix the problem, despite the problems never getting fixed.

The problem is that you can rarely emulate private school successes, because they don't have teachers unions, and have a much more flexible system for providing education to students.
