I think private schools have the same potential for problems but the good news is you can vote with your feet. That's the beautiful thing about having a choice. If my child brings with them public funds and the school gets out of whack I take my funds to another private school that is performing or back into the government school if that works.

As for teaching methods, I don't think the problem is with new methods per se. It's when new methods replace the tried and true. For example, you remember when we were kids, how did we learn multiplication and division....rote memorization and it worked. Our kids today don't get that drilled into them the way we did. New methods replaced tried and true and our kids are suffering as a result. There may be new methods that add value but it seems like the emphasis is on innovation more than using what works best, old or new.

As for national merit scholars, I'm not sure how many they turn out. The high school is relatively new but does pretty well on college admissions. It is no Westmninster or Lovett but it is building a very good reputation and is one of the top 50 Catholic schools in the country. We are actually there for the spiritual formation as much as the academics.
