Frankly, I don't believe you. IF it wasn't needed, why offer it? And if it wasn't needed, why accept? So all of those amazing athletes at Wahoo, just CHOSE not to attend to go to what is considered a a really good college-prep school in Wahoo Neumann, for free? I'm a public school guy and this concept of "athletic scholarships" just doesn't hold water. Period. You can try again, if you wish. Any family that could, but choose not to, pay tuition, but will not change their kids school just because it's the same free as the taxpayer funded tuition provides... makes zero sense. Sheesh. I don't know you, so I can't say for sure, but there seems to be this segment of people, mostly from schools that are really, really atrocious at sports that, despite common sense, despite all the facts to the contrary, continue with this belief that somehow Private Schools are at some big advantage that can only be explained by something nefarious. Perhaps, MAYBE before open enrollment you could make some sort of argument. One of the things about the people pushing option enrollments was the argument that it would HURT private schools, which actually makes some sense. ANY kid can now pick his/her school tuition free. It hasn't. The parents that choose private education also choose, somewhat significant, financial and/or time commitments to educate their children, while also paying, more, in most cases their fair share of YOUR child's education. You should thank them. I do.
