[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Privates can pick and choose their students. At my private, they immediately expell students on the first instance of a serious behavior problem (drugs, alcohol, violence) and eventually if they talk back to teachers or have consistent problems which don't resolve. Students have even been expelled for repetitive cheating.

So, less salary for the teachers, but significantly fewer problems. Those kids are sent back to public school. [/quote]

So what you're saying is that private schools can only exist because public schools exist to take their leftovers. And this is something you are proud of. And nonetheless you enjoy living in a functioning society that would not be possible without public schools. [/quote]

NP. I went to Williamsburg and later, Yorktown in the mid-90s. I saw more than a few rich white kids get sent to private schools when they started acting up because their parents didn't want them sent to Langston Hughes. I suspect Arlington was more than happy to see those kids leave the public schools and apparently the private schools were happy to accept the tuition dollars. [/quote]
