[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience -- YES!

The reason is pretty simple: private schools do not have to accept (or keep) disrespectful, troublemaking, or otherwise misbehaving students.[/quote]
This is so [b]FALSE[/b]. Beyond [b]FALSE[/b]. The number of kids who get away with godawful sh!t at private schools is staggering. There are fewer kids in private than public so it may SEEM like that. As a private school parent for the last 14 years, I can't even count the number of HORRIBLE children who get admitted because the parents guarantee a certain amount of money. I know FOUR families who's misbehaving miscreants are "transferring" to other schools outside of the application process because of money.

The kids don't get kicked out. And the kids who should not be admitted are admitted because the Heads around here are competing to build the biggest endowment. Lots of BDE amongst the private administration.[/quote]

You speak with such passionate authority, PP.   So - what is your opinion based upon?  Because, while I appreciate your 4 friends, either you have taught or been in admin at both public and private schools to justify your passion.  I think perhaps neither.   Private schools attract certain types of people and public attracts others.  You prefer what you are comfortably with in terms of behavior in the class and outside.  I’ll chose private every time.  You do you.[/quote]
