Yes, "Yay!!" because that particular student is not in the right environment.  Many private schools are reserved for the most accomplished learners.  If a student can't keep out, he or she should find another place.  That is where public schools work.  They do provide services for learning challenges.  But that doesn't make the public school the best place for those who are great learners.[/quote]

Ah. Private schools are for "the most accomplished learners". Public schools are for the hoi polloi. Got it.[/quote]

Private schools are largely for people with money... that's about it.  Yes, they have great test scores, etc..  because that is largely a reflection of the parents' SES.   Public magnet schools are for "the most accomplished learners".[/quote]

Yes because all the kids on welfare are making it to magnent schools.  :roll:  It is no different in public.  The kids that have coddling parents and tutors are the ones that get into magnets.

And our private gives out financial aid to 30% of the students.  It isn't all rich.  Many people, including myself, make huge sacrifices for private school. Smaller home, used cars, a little more frugal.    I see plenty of moms with their jewelry, LV bag and huge Mercedes SUV dropping their kids off at public before going off to yoga, lunch and a shopping spree.  Not everyone has the same priorities but it doesn't mean only the rich send their kids to private.  [/quote]
