[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can students be better served in public schools when their class sizes are significantly larger (even the classes in the magnet programs)?[/quote]

Easily

For  one math and science are 100 percent taught at higher levels in public there is no private in the DMV that compares

Mix in religious privates and the teachings not anywhere near the best education

We’ve already been through this. The magnet programs and the top private schools are equivalent when it comes to math and science.[/quote]
No, they are not. The magnets run circles around the top privates when it comes to math and science [/quote]

When we ask for evidence, are you going to show us those competitions again?[/quote]
It was shown to you many many times.  All the STEM competitions be it AMC8,  AMC10, AMC12, Mathcounts, Science bowl,  Math Olympiads,  Science Olympiads, Intel/Regeneron Science etc.. they are all dominated by public schools.  Private schools barely registered in the radar except for the Harker school in California. [/quote]

I’m sure it’s irrelevant that only 10% of students in this country go to private schools to begin with.[/quote]

And of those, only 24% went to nonsectarian schools. So the population of students who go to secular schools—which include the vast majority of top private schools that might compete in these competitions—is all of roughly 2% of the country‘s students.

So representation at these competitions is not the persuasive data point you think it is.[/quote]

Most private schools don't enter. It's not a thing.[/quote]

Yep. And it has nothing to do with the quality of their programs. PP needs a new argument.[/quote]
The good, top ones do enter these competitions.  They just cannot compete with the good publics.[/quote]

Competition is sooo... proletariat... yawn and pass[/quote]

LMAO let the publics fight for that plastic trophy :lol: [/quote]
