Many children in kindergarten through twelfth grade in Catholic schools hope to escape them one day, hope their parents will transfer them to the local public school. For some it happens, for others it doesn't. For those to whom it never happens, it was probably for the best, at least in the parents' eyes and maybe one day in the child's as well. As the years pass, there are more and more announcements of school closures, especially Catholic elementary and high schools. It's not just schools closing, but more like a culture is slowly disappearing. Why is this? Is it because of tuition prices or perhaps declining attendance? Or could it be the result of problems on the part of the archdioceses of each state? Catholic schools will not become extinct like dinosaurs, but they could be placed on the endangered species list in the coming decades. There are so many families who would hate for this to happen because they strive for the background and morals that these schools provide. Also, it maintains that trust in the community so that the archdiocese – an archbishop controls an entire area or district which is usually a state – would not allow all these schools to disappear because that would mean their influence is disappearing too. Not only that, but a child seen as coming from a private school in some cases has a better chance of getting into certain universities than those who did not attend such schools, two students might have exactly the same college application but the location where the child diploma has an impact because some schools have better ratings than others and many times private schools have better ratings than public schools. However, such events do not always occur. Archdioceses, parish communities, g...... half of paper ...... school are simply extremely unsafe due to location or other factors. Dr. HP Bianchi explains that for his family to be able to send their only child to parochial school would mean eliminating certain things from their lives such as "the money set aside for cable TV, going out to eat and vacations to get us halfway there ." But they have another child who they would like to send to school too when he becomes of age, so what can you do then when cutting things like that from the budget only covers half of what is needed? Bianchi's brother-in-law sends six children to Catholic elementary and high school, which costs him more than $50,000 a year in tuition. Very few families can do this, which is why many send all their children to the public or perhaps one or two to the private while the rest go to the public because it may not be feasible to send them all.
