SAT scores are highly rigged. As for religious schools being better, let's have your stats please. And shall we consider not just exam results, eh? Shall we have a crack at value-added? Your comments amount to received wisdom. Anyone who really loves their kids would never send them to a school that is going to tell them a pack of lies and make them say prayers to the non-existent. That's not love, that's child abuse done with a cosy smile on its face.
