[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a public school parent and private school veteran, and I would say the most significant factor for those who strongly prefer private schools is that they have selective admissions -- you can be sure your kid's classmates will be smart and well-behaved. The lack of bureaucracy is another factor that probably has real impact, but charter schools have leveled the playing field significantly in that respect.[/quote] +1 [b]Selective admissions and ability to kick out kids who don't follow the rules for whatever reason [/b]and not having to teach to the test other than the SATs.[/quote] Unless of course the parents are very wealthy and generous, or even more likely, well connected. Also, I think some privates are actually more likely to give 2nd (or whatever chances) based on very subjective measures.[/quote]
