[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Yes, well-behaved like Owen Labrie and the other boys from St. Paul's school.[/quote]

That's one kid.   :roll: [/quote]

And a cheap shot. Privates can kick out kids for bad behavior, because they have special needs, because they fail out etc. The can shape the class and cohort however they like. [/quote]

And it made the national news because it's unusual for a kid at St. Paul's who was going to Harvard to be charged with something like this.

How many public school kids who get charged with "date rape" make the national news?[/quote]

MOST "kids" in high school and college NEVER GET charged.  
for example, [b]the wonderful gang in the STA class of '87........... who repeatedly raped girls in the NCS class of '89[/b]
and then probably went on to do it in college
and it still happens today - at Harvard, Princeton, and as the good ole' boys on Rugby Road will sing
no means yes
and yes means anal[/quote]

Yes - and I also remember the LAX team at STA having team t-shirts with the catchy slogan, "It takes a quick stick to penetrate a tight crease."  This was somewhere between 1989 & 1991.  Also around this time I remember some stellar young men from STA making a homemade bomb with stuff from the school's lab and setting it of at a local country club - I'm fuzzy on the details but still remember the first names of at least two involve and know that at least they they were not kicked out or charged with anything, both were sons of diplomats.
