BASED SCHOOLS - Commentator Joe Laconte says that private schools, most of which are church affiliated, routinely produce students who perform better than public school students...and graduate more kids from high-school. He says this is in large part due to the fact that church-based schools can offer moral instruction. He says we should support efforts to give vouchers to parents so that all parents can have the choice of "one of our most effective teaching institutions---the church based school."
