I should have added that all three of the girls were dressed in parochial school uniforms. The public schools are hampered by the mandate to "teach to the test" that focuses entirely on facts with no regard or reward for analysis or original thought. So as much as I decry Betsy DeVoss' animosity toward public education it is encouraging parents who care about their child's education to put them into private schools that are able to focus on education and not THE TEST. But that is another rant
