Time Stands Still, while Kansas has some good public school systems, they also have some fair and poor ones. I'm sure any parent, as I did, would thoroughly check out a private school to make sure their child can get an excellent education before making the sacrifice to send them there and not just fork over that kind of money so their child can be on a good athletic team. There are other reasons besides sports and education for some parents to choose a private school. They are not forced to be "politically correct" and teach your child to accept certain things as just the way it is when you have raised them differently all their lives. I want my children to be in a school that has the same morals and values we try to teach in our home so that those ideas are supported while my children are growing and maturing.
