Nice
Like the commenting on purging DHHS from the budget while neglecting spousal and child abuse. Seems to me liking it to keep it silent and in the family.

I can't speak for NYA or
I can't speak for NYA or Hebron but St. Dom's and Catholic education in the Twin Cities has been experiencing dramatic decreases in enrollment and resulting teacher layoffs that have made news for the past few years .. it's doing anything but thriving. Barely a decade ago a new high school was built to be large enough to house students in grades 9-12. Now it has plenty of room for grades 7-12. I don't see how St. Dom's could ever be considered "thriving".

That sounds too much like you
That sounds too much like you want to just give up on a whole lot of kids, though. Is holding back a child over and over going to be what motivates them to learn? A 4th grader should never be demonized for "refusing to learn" because.. well, he's 10 years old. He's likely a victim of circumstance, and we should work hard to change him and find way to motivate him to learn rather than give up on him because he may be holding other kids back.
