[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would I pay money for an inferior  product? Public schools dominate the math, science and tech necessary for tomorrow.[/quote]
I'm hardly in the "private is clearly better" crowd, but you have no proof for this statement.[/quote]
Just take a look at the Intel scholars  and any other math and science winners. The vast majority are from public schools. 
Here is this year intel/Regeneron scholars. Only one from a private school in the DC area.

As many may have already stated (haven't read through the posts), unless your DC is extremely gifted or one who has a serious special need, he or she will likely fly under the radar in public school.  The majority of students do not have the ability to excel like those in the link, including my DS, who is very bright but not a superstar student.  His private school gives him the ability to shine in other ways, not to mention the smaller class sizes, religious education, and network for life.  These are things that can never be offered in a public school environment.[/quote]

Also forgot to mention one reason public school students are majority is a sheer numbers game.  You are pitting a much larger population against a very small group of students comparing public vs private.[/quote]
