An excellent post on public vs private schools ! I rarely agree with you, but this post shows insight. The public schools teach a spectrum of IQs from 70-140+ while the upscale private schools teach IQs from 110+(very few children in public schools have IQs higher than 130). Socially and psychologically damaged children are not tolerated in private schools while the public schools attempts to educate all and repair the social and psychological damage in the weaker students. The teachers and administrators in public schools are rarely praised for their exceptional efforts. The expensive Episcopal, Presbyterian and Catholic private schools in our area frequently lord it over the public schools every year by comparing their high ACT scores with the more modest average scores of the public schools but always seems to avoid comparing the socio-economic status and IQ levels of the population they teach. They also refuse to compare apples to apples by comparing the private school children to the honor students in the public schools. When all of the variables are factored in, the public schools teachers are their a superior job with the materials they are given.
