Agreed!

Was at the game last night with my buddy visiting with his family from L.A. Great experience! Side note: The last time I went to a game with him and his family, Elly hit for the cycle and we saw a classic against the Braves.

Not sure I have your context right here, but I can tell you that thoroughly uninvolved parents are a huge problem at small private schools. They more or less treat volunteer coaches, coordinators, etc., as babysitters and do nothing to help. It's frustrating.

It benefits the community at large, as well as my property value. I want an educated citizenry and am willing to pay for it although my child has never stepped into an OH classroom.

Of course.

OLL did and they're all going to follow in FMHE, but Al's, Cate and Antoninus (I think) resisted this year. They say they're raising it to the "cost to educate a child" and intend to focus on getting people aid from an archdiocese education fund.

I don't think the Bengals have a scouting department. The Reds have missed on free agents for sure. But I like a lot of the young players they have drafted and traded for. Could be better overall, for sure.

Yep, but the somehow the kid has to have a chance to be educated. I think I feel that way, anyway. Not sure what the answer there is.

Hammered. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Someone posted the Cleveland.com preseason rankings over in the football forum, although they did so without a link. I'm not sure what this is based on as I have no idea what to expect from the team this year.

Is there a link for this?

I'm cool with most of this, but the tests are dumb and I'd want to maintain more enrollment scrutiny for private schools. If kids are a problem, they should be able to be punted out of the hallways. I'm also sensitive to the idea of public schools losing money. I'd never send my kid to Oak...

Hopefully at least through May 2029. :) But yes, I think it'll survive.

FMHE has a director of schools. I'm not sure exactly what she does, though. My only experience with her is when I saw her left by the FMHE director of administration and finance to be ambushed by angry parents over the OLL tuition hike at a meeting once ... and an email she sent me telling me...
