Private School Advantages vs Public.

[Wow71]

WOW, Mount Airy has been in the same building for 73 years this year. It was built in 1952 but has slowly had some major improvements over the years, and these private and charter schools have all these newer schools.

Exactly TD!

I still don't think anyone has caught on to the schools receiving their tax dollars that I'm sure would upset them if they were doing their research.

Eastern Randolph is a baby comparatively…
Opened in 1968…
By the way, the basketball team visits that charter tomorrow night (rescheduled from Friday). Get to see it up close…

A few of us might have known this for awhile…
But that probably is not the audience you’re referencing…

Click the link and look at the new school that this place has just built. It was already the newest school in Randolph County and had nice facilities and space already. While other traditional schools need major repair, replacement or rebuilding. UCA and other charters get this! Privates getting vouchers in the 100's of thousands pulling kids from these schools. Just a shining example of our tax dollars being funneled to these types of schools instead of taking care of others that have much bigger needs than a new building to replace an already new building.

I know you put this out there for those that haven’t seen the place. Thank you.
Those that have, like myself, are often amazed at the landscape changes down old 220…

I can't imagine some of these folks would like their tax dollars going toward something they'd consider to be their enemy.

What would be real funny, if they looked up their state representatives and see that they probably voted to fund the privates and charters.

You are saying the very same thing that others have said about Bishop for the last 20 years. Gibbons and Charlotte Catholic have been members for close to 60 years, nothing new there either. None of the powers that be care a hoot about what guys on a internet message board think is fair or not about the Catholic schools or public charter schools. Nor do they care with the Mt. Airy's of the state who have used lenient district and county rules to run up "advantaged" banners over those years. There's never been a level playing field, not in the past, not now and not in the future.

For real, I'm vibing with your takes on high school sports in Carolina, especially with the big shots like Bishop, Gibbons, and Charlotte Catholic flexing their decades of glory! It's like they’re rolling in the juice while the little guys are just trying to find a slice of pizza at the pep rally. 😂 You see teams like Mt. Airy getting totally beat, not just because they can't play, but because they’re stuck in a game where the refs are basically handing trophies to the big schools!
