[NU Sports] coaches leaving

[Roy Lamberton]

Not to knock north Chicago, but having lived in Norman, and having had a wife
teach just across the river, I can tell you that the Public School of Norman,
OK, with the University of OK there, are as good as anything around Evanston.
 
If the public schools in and around Evanston are so good, why are there so many
private schools?

I will contest one of Roy's points:
 
"I know from experience that OU pays better than NU, the weather's nicer most of
the year, you don't have to send your kids to private school in Norman, and he
can use all the red stuff left over from Miami. "
 
Any Northwestern staffer who feels that he has to send his kids to private
school is kidding himself - any Public school on the North Shore, including ETHS
and New Trier, is better than its private counterparts - I'd match ETHS, New
Trier or Glenview against North Shore Country Day or Roycemore, or the
parochials like Loyola Academy, and the public schools would win going away.
And they would certainly outperform anything he might find in the public schools
in Norman, Oklahoma.
