and so the lacrosse gods have spoken --it must be that every kid who plays lacrosse (or wants to play lacrosse) and goes to Chaminade (or any other private school) must be there for that reason and that reason alone....not the tradition, the academics, the Catholic school experience, the opportunities that may not be available in their public school -- just for the lax. So if a child (gasp)actually gets cut for whatever the reason and does NOT go back to public, it is because of parent embarrassment, not because there is more to high school than LACROSSE. How did we all miss that in our decision making process???? oh, now I get it...so my kid (and us) are not in school with people that think that way (and that includes you). Full disclosure - we are a Catholic school family
