Jack Reed: “Second, it is one of those things: What do you measure? Do you measure parochial schools in New York City or are you…”

On the recordMarch 2, 2000
Second, it is one of those things: What do you measure? Do you measure parochial schools in New York City or are you measuring all the private schools, very exclusive schools? All I can speak to with great compulsion and experience is in my home State of Rhode Island, generally speaking, the parochial schools mirror some of the public school systems. But when you go to some of the private schools, that is not quite the case. I suggest if it is not limited to parochial schools, it is going to be taken advantage of.
