If you went to private school, you understand the difference between private and public when it comes to structure, discipline, and philosophy.

If you went to private school, you understand that private schools can select their students, and public schools can't.[/quote]

But private schools like Cristo Rey take the poorest and the most at-risk.

But you make an excellent point regarding the study body: it boils down to kids who can behave and want to learn, right? Which is precisely why schools like KIPP and Cristo Rey succeed: because they engage the troublemakers and demand success. They connect with them on a different level.

I'm going to see if I can dig up an article I read about a charter school in Chicago that only hires male teachers of color for their all boys school. They're seeing great results because now these boys have positive male role models who connect with them and shepherd them through the tween/teen years. [/quote]
similar thing at a Watts private school.

But I tend to think these are self selecting students.  They or their parents value education. That's why they are there.  Unfortunately, you can't force public school parents to have the same attitude about education.[/quote]
