[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who on DCUM has ever claimed that every single private school on earth should have exceptional academics compared to every public school?  Please link to these posts.[/quote]

I would hope that paying for private would provide an improved academic instruction and don’t most privates proclaim this anyway? Mine did at least and is one major sticking point of some leaving mcps since covid. 
You could get your point across better without being so bombastic with your irrelevant request for link to posts with your dramatic “every single private school on Earth.”[/quote]
Some private schools aren't striving to be stronger, but at least comparable academically while offering certain qualities (single-sex, religious) not available via public school. Neither of those appeal to me, but you are grossly underestimating the number of families on DCUM looking for one or both of those in a private school.[/quote]

I went through the process of looking at 5 private schools in the area. Every single one of them boasted about their academics being stronger than public. This was the one consistent factor that they all stated and was on their primary sell. Secondary was as you mentioned religion, coed/single-sex, etc. [/quote]
It's primary for many folks. And having gone through the interview process multiple times for DD now, I can say that no school ever boasted to us about their academics being stronger than public, or boasted in general. It's not really their style to act that way. All talked about their values, and what they emphasized curriculum-wise, but at no point did they ever claim to be "better" than another school, public or private.[/quote]
