Question--Is NDCL a private or public school?

Question--Is NDCL a private or public school?

Notre Dame- Cathedral Latin (NDCL) is a Catholic School

Thanks just wondering if sending you kid to a private school instead of a public one would mean someone wants more STRUCTURE hum

don't blame Scott's upbringing in the Catholic church for his choice of education. one could do worse, much much worse

not cutting on a religion at all. pointing out that sending your kid to a private school is wanting structure in their life. Spending all that money for a high school education. Scott has cut on numerous different things in his post. I have sat back and read it and been around long enough to know he likes to stir the pot. He doesnt want parents to support thier daughters college choice by wearing the schools clothes. But is it okay for everyone to wear Ohio State attire if they dont even have a kid there? He has made comments more or less saying if a kid decides to play anything other than major div1 college softball than it is a waste of time. Well for some it is about the education and using softball to get that education. He says there is too much structure in our kid's lives, we keep them too busy. See what happens when your teen is idle. Colleges are looking for well rounded students that are active in their schools and their communittee. In the work place, I have seen the kids come in without stucture in their life...dont last very long, and the ones who do. I will take the kid who's parents taught their sons and daughters what it means to work hard and gave them structure any day.

Sometimes the message can be lost...Ive heard many college coaches of big time programs, most recently Patti Gasso of Oklahoma pretty much say the samething Dice is saying. Sports are to organized, kids don't just play anymore. Remember your youth, countless hours spent outside playing pick up games. Now there are leagues, coaches for everything. Winning and losing has taken a back seat to participation. Look at our sport, kids playing 7 games in a weekend, naturally kids don't feel a sense of urgency to win every game. IMO we are STARTING to lose our sense of competitiveness.

Just my 2 cents

Not questioning your point (agree with you) but do question your thinking this thread's intent was anything other than more running of the mouth and stirring the pot.

If the original post actually had a message to it, I am certain it was totally accidental.

although, in Scott's case, he was probably bound by some Catholic conspiracy/Da Vinci code code of honor that his kids must attend all Catholic schools, Sunday masses and store sacramental wine in the cupboards
yuk yuk yuk

By the way, don't think Scott's DD attends Catholic school any more.

too much structure??

I'll go as delicate as possible with this one....no she does not attend NDCL any more. Probably the worst mistake I've made to date in softball decisions, on paper it seemed to be a good move but the head coach was dealing with health problems and some of his decisions were questionable. As far as the assistants well just plain awful bottom line! Nothing like making your players run laps to prove a point before you play for the division championship and horrible knowledge of bench coaching and base coaching!

Never argue with an idiot...

He'll bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Yep---ignore him and he will go away. continue to read and respond to his posts and he stays.

buckeye heat says, "It's always about being the best you can be at whatever you choose to do. It's about achieving and improving yourself. If everyone thought that if you can't be a superstar at whatever, then you should just give up and quit, there wouldn't be many doctors, lawyers, or anything else in the world."

Yep..... very very well put. We're trying to raise these young adults with the habits and attitudes that are essential to being successful in life---- both personally and professionally. Too much structure? I guess it beats playing with gasoline and matches like I did as a kid. (it was fun tho)

I think Scott is poking fun at some of the parents, their silliness, at this facility. How they act, how they carry/conduct themselves. The parents.

Kids are kids.... they're all similar in many (not all) ways. We need to counsel them when they get down on themselves, when they feel like giving up, when they feel they're not good enough. These are feelings that all HUMANS have during the course of life. If you can make it through that, and don't give up, you have what it takes to be a success at whatever.

I think we all would be lying to ourselves if we don't admit (at least to ourselves) that sometimes we make fun of these people during the course of our coaching duties. Spectators I put you in there too. Scott just puts it out there.

and no i don't even know him.
