[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public schools are atrocious.  A very destructive force in America.  Even the good ones in affluent areas have gotten far, far worse over the past few decades.  And the merely above average ones?  They turn out kids who can barely read or write.  [/quote]

Far more kids who get into MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc went to public high schools, not private high schools. So, not sure what you are saying about public schools being atrocious is correct, unless you are a bigot or a xenophobe. And how is public education for children a destructive force? Send them to coal mines instead?[/quote]

This isn’t very smart. How many kids go to public? How many to private? You have to do a weighted percentage to have it make sense. I bet it’s a much larger share of private school kids got to top untiversities[/quote]

Betting is not very smart. And misspelling “universities” is … funny and speaks for itself. If you lined up only the top private and only the top public schools, more go to Harvard from public high schools, for instance. This data is public. Boston Latin, Stuyvesant, etc; Harvard Westlake, Andover, etc. [/quote]
