[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Private schools largely exist to provide a product that is different from public. If it were the same, no one would pay for it.[/quote] This.[/quote] My child’s parochial school isn’t reacting to public school trends so much as it is trying to offer a quality Catholic education. We do pencil and paper because parents are concerned about EdTech generally, not because EdTech is primarily a feature of public school. Our library is very carefully curated because of the school’s strong Catholic identity that they want to promote through reading, not because public schools happen to have a lot of books that we wouldn’t include. Private schools can be more nimble because they don’t have to deal with a school board, and because the parent population is more homogenous (in terms of views, not race/ethnicity) and can more easily agree on a direction for the school.
