If Bucktown isn't too far away, R&O's followed by a drive along the lakeshore to UNO.

How much do they save from their education budget due to the federal government's "free through high school" for everyone program?

Funding is combined from national, prefectural (think state), municipal (think parish/county more than city/town), and family levels.

Grade school (1-6) and junior high school (7-9) are mandatory. Teachers are funded via national (33%) and prefectural (67%) funds. School facilities and maintenance are funded and managed via municipal funds. Uniforms, meals, supplies, and travel are funded via family funds. There are extra national funds to help cover the difference in very rural and low family income situations.

Senior high school (10-12) is not mandatory and is funded and managed at the national, prefectural, and family level. Same as above, but the prefecture is in charge of the schools.

Tokyo is so large that it works as its own prefecture with multiple municipal districts. So 1/3 of teacher salaries come from the national level, and there are extra national funds to help low income families, but the rest is prefectural and local districts.

Health care is a different topic, but the funding also comes from multiple levels. I will say that my experience (as a municipal employee, not just a tourist) was that it was quicker, cheaper, and more accessible in Japan (Osaka area) compared to Louisiana (GNO and BR area). They're also much less prone to throwing pills at things over there.

The answer is Alabama. Ole Miss and ATM should be reverting to their norm and we should already have a good chance of beating them. Texas will probably be tougher. But Alabama has the history of giving us trouble.

So, with the results not affecting any other game, you put the guaranteed beatdown on Alabama.

So the New Orleans Catholic schools don’t compete in the playoffs with the public schools?

If a school accepts students from outside of its assigned attendance district, they play in the Select playoffs. This includes private schools, public magnet schools, and public charter schools.
