I agree that more convincing data is needed. The only evidence offered that this school is more effective is that some public schools have created advertisements and use Ipads. Considering the fact that this is a Catholic school, I also wonder about what students might be alienated or rejected due to religious prejudice.

> Considering the fact that this is a Catholic school, I also wonder about what students might be alienated or rejected due to religious prejudice. The key here is student choice. Since the students themselves (and their families) select the school to go to, presumably if the students end up being alienated due to cultural factors at a specific school, the parents can pull them out and send them to another school. But under the existing system, if a kid was socially isolated at a public school for whatever reason, and his/her parents thought that starting over at another school would be the best, their only options would be to move, or pay out-of-pocket for a private school.
