[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But why is that wrong?  If there are families that are "favorites" at that K-8 level, it seems very likely that they would also be "favorites" at the high school level.  Why wouldn't a high school want kids from those families?

If you ran a high school, wouldn't you be more likely to admit kids from families what were beloved in the parochial schools and parishes?  I would.

It obviously shouldn't be the determining factor in every case, but I don't see a problem with it being a thumb on the scale if two kids are otherwise equal academically.[/quote]

The most obvious reasons why this isn't fair are: 1) a student cannot control his or her parents' behavior, 2) a student cannot control whether both his or her parents work, thereby limiting those parents' available time to contribute to the school/parish by running the big events and other volunteer activities and 3) a student cannot control how much money his or her parents have at their disposal to donate to the school and/or parish.[/quote]
