Ole3putt Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Just FYI for those who don't know (but should if they are going to post as if they do) the DI privates ARE a business. They are non-profits the same as your local charities. So they aren't teaching their kids to sue (3 putt) and they don't feel like they have to win to make money...because they don't make money. If they did they wouldn't be non-profits anymore. Instead they lose money...which means that they have to raise extra money every year to stay open. And that pretty much shoots most of the silly "you have sooo much money we can't compete" rants down. But, I've said all this before and no one seems to notice...or believe it. Just felt duty bound to post it again so some poster wouldn't continue to make uninformed statements... FYI. (BC) I must have missed something. you need to refresh my memory. when did I make the statement. "How DI privates are teaching kids to sue". Just felt duty bound to post. so you could clear it up.

Just in case he was offended in some way I'll take the heat. I don't believe that nonproffit garbage for one minute. You already have tons of public nonproffits why would you start one without government assistance if you werent going to make $$$$$$. Most private school people I know wouldn't do anything for FREE.

You can refuse to believe the world is round or the sun is a star and that doesn't change those facts either. The DI privates are non-profits. If you give money to them it is the same as giving money to a charity...therefore they legally CAN NOT make a profit...period.But then we've had this discussion before...deficit budgets and all. You really ought to get your facts right if you are gonna make posts about small privates.. 3-putt, I am sorry, made a mistake about who posted what. My bad! It's the bald thing...with the cold weather the brain freezes and...nah, I just messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSMFT Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I will be for the urban-rural split when the T$$AA figures out a way for Austin-East to win the state GOLF championship. Now, when King Ronnie figures that out, you will have equality all acroos the state! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighurt Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Back to the question I asked before....are publics for profit? No. Obviously, funding public schools is very different from private schools. Funding athletic operations at both public and private schools is becoming more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antwan Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Nope. Ok, obvious answer now out of the way Antwan, what is the angle? No angle. I just don't think the fact that DI privates being non-profit has much to do with anything. All schools are pretty much non-profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighurt Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 No angle. I just don't think the fact that DI privates being non-profit has much to do with anything. All schools are pretty much non-profit. Except public schools receive tax dollars to at least partially fund operating expenses and facilities.

old24eagle Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Except public schools receive tax dollars to at least partially fund operating expenses and facilities. And they're there for you to use FREE of charge , but I'm sure you and your kids are way to good for public schools. Why complain about having to pay for a service that you can get for free.
