- Another question in this debate on private vs. public schooling: Frequently
- one hears that the success of parochial schools has more to do with the
- selectivity of students than with any inherent difference in approach,
- philosophy, and methods. Moreover, parochial schools reject the hard
- cases--learning disabled, and other children whose home lives or other
- factors render them dysfunctional in the more regimented parochial system.

- How does one answer these charges? Has anyone done any work to prove or
- disprove the allegation?
