CLASS, PAY ATTENTION
I hope the Catholic Diocese and other private schools in Wilmington are paying attention to the News-Journal, which has yet another editorial in favor of the private schools subjecting their students to the DSTP. The N-J loves the idea ostensibly as a way to assure that all students are getting a quality education. A laudable goal, no doubt. But, there may be other reasons for the paper’s enthusiasm:
Both religious and independent schools in Delaware have been free of state control. The only real state authority the state exercises over private schools is attendance rules.
I think the private schools (with the notable exception of the Diocese) are smarter than that. That won’t stop the ultra-statist N-J from pushing the concept every chance it gets.
