[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is the problem with this site. You can't have an informational converstation without it being confrontational.

True nothing in life is free but those schools have the majority of the students that pay &lt;$2000 to attend private school. (I can type that all out now that I am at a computer.) Many schools include meals, tutoring, athletics. Some schools run from 7am-7pm. (ish) Maybe it is 7:15-6:45, do we really need to argue every single solitary minute detail.

OP, There are at least 7 Catholic schools that give FA to &quot;truly needy children&quot;. They feed to private HS's it is a great mission. I am very impressed everytime I encounter one of these children. There was an article in the Gazette about a homeless boy going to college after graduating from Don Bosco.

Go ahead pick the minute details apart but the Catholic schools do a very good job at just this, providing eduction to truly needy children. They also have schools with program dedicated to kids with Special Needs. Bravo![/quote]

I'm not arguing.  Someone (you?) stated that something existed.  As someone who has reason to want to know of low cost or free educational options in DC, I asked for more information.  I repeatedly praised the Catholic schools in DC, and agree 100% that they are doing a lot more to educate low income kids than that independent schools, and that they deserve a lot of credit for it.

But to say that there are Catholic elementary schools in DC where 100% of the students don't pay tuition is inaccurate.  To argue that you wrote 100% instead of "many" or "some" because you weren't at a computer is a little odd, since they're each 4 characters. [/quote]
