Amazing statistic in The Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly

The Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly (issue 38) procliamed the following FRIGHTENING statistics for Allen County for 2004/2005 school enrollment:
Public Schools 53,801
Private Schools 28,440

No statistics were provided on Home Schooled children.

Excluding Home Schooled children these statistics tell us that almost 35% of the enrolled students in Allen County go to Private Schools!

One would think this would radically lower everyone's property taxes since so many children are not even in the Public Schools...

That of course does not seem to be the case...

Mike- It would be an interesting study to calculate how much is spent in the public schools per student, and then to get the average tuition charged by the private schools. I bet it would be useful for your campaign.

It would also be interesting to see whether the practice of enrolling kids in religious or other private schools is more prevalent among government-school teachers than among the population as a whole. I remember reading about ten years ago that it was.

You have got to be kidding me Bartleby.

I would love to know where you read that statistic!

Indy Mayor Bart Peterson sends his daughter to Park Tudor, tellingly not to the public schools.
