If you are a teacher or a doctor to make gobs of money, you are doing it for the wrong reason.
Sounds like some good old Catholic socialist teaching there.
Please concentrate. You were comparing costs per student. One of the reasons that the costs are lower is that Catholic schools don't have the cost of building schools added into that number. Public schools do.
I just don't understand this bizarre focus you have on buildings.
The fact is, both systems have buildings. When the buildings get too old to work, they get torn down and they build new ones, and they both have to find it in their budgets to do that.
Except when the public system builds new buldings, they find ways to waste money with all the government regulation.
When I took science classes in the 1970's, we used a science lab that was built in the 1920's. Seriously, it looked like it was out of an old movie. They got the job done, though. They tore that building down subsequently.
Public education wastes money. They aren't run with a focus. They throw money at every concern with no looking at the bottom line, because, hey, it ain't their money.
I don't understand why you endless argue obvious points, and then claim that your opponent has a fixation. You like to load your posts up with bullshit as a diversion. I'm not playing. We are talking about your per student cost comparisons.
The Church provides the building. That means that the expense of the building is not included in that number that you're touting.
Try moving on to another point now.
Why, I'm having so much fun on this one.
Where do you think Catholic School buildings come from. Do you think God drops them down from the sky or something?
No, they come from the same place Public School buildings come from. They set aside money in a budget to build a building, and then they hire contractors to build it.
The Church doesn't provide a building, it is part of the cost.
