Tom, I'm really surprised at this comment. I wouldn't expect you to =
stoop so
low and bury your head in the sand like this.

Logos has a reputation for not only turning out godly children but also =
high
academic achievers. And these achievements are known both locally as =
well as
around the nation. In fact, Logos has such a reputation that it's is =
being
modeled even in countries overseas.

For example, last year we had 21 kids graduate from Logos. Here are some =
of
the scholarships (which you won't read about in the Daily News):=20

=09
*	Washington & Lee - W & L Grant
*	Washington & Lee - National Merit Scholarship
*	Georgia Tech - GT Grant, non-resident
*	Georgia Tech - Dukin Ferris Sch
*	Georgia Tech - James Finley Sch
*	Georgia Tech - J & E Stucklaw Sch
*	Georgia Tech - Sidney Goldin Sch
*	Washington U. - Gustav Rust Mesner Sch.
*	Washington U. - Deans Honorary Sch.
*	Oklahoma Univ. - Nat. Merit Sch
*	WSU - Cougar Academic Award
*	WSU - WSU Achievement Award
*	WSU - WSU Scholar in Residence Award
*	Azuza Pacific - Dean's Scholarship
*	Pell Grant
*	Whitman College - William O. Douglas scholarship
*	Whitman College - Whitman Grant
*	Idaho Promise Scholarship
*	Idaho Presidential Scholarship
*	Presidential Leadership Scholarship
*	Hogue Family Centenial Civil
*	Idaho Academic Scholarship
*	Access Grant
*	Ziegler Education Foundation
*	Idaho Academic Scholarship
*	Presidential Achievement Scholarship

Not bad for 21 kids from average income families in the back-woods of =
Idaho
being taught by teachers without an education degree!

Think what they could do if instead of spending <$3,000 per kid they got
those $6,000 per kid that MST gets!

But there's an old expression: "My mind is made up. Don't confuse me =
with
the facts!"=20
