If you are a good parent, they will learn whether they go to public or private.

This is the answer.

I went to catholic schools from kindergarten through high school and know classmates that have become very successful and others that are in jail, dead from bad decisions etc. Its all in the individual. Rich parents who can afford the most expensive school doesn't guarantee anything just because they spend money on it.

My daughter went to school in ascension parish from kindergarten to 8th grande. Now at a catholic high school in Baton Rouge and surprisingly was ahead in math. Granted shes a straight A student and takes school very seriously. Her mom is wasting money sending her to a catholic school. My son will do the same thing when he hits high school but will probably be behind because he just doensn't care about school. Two kids raised the same way by me and their mom but are completely different types of students.
