Wrong! Private schools can't afford to provide schooling to the poorest 1/3 in the country They could easily afford it if public funding of education went with the student instead of going to the public school system. The poorest 1/3rd often can't afford to pay twice for school (paying for the public system and then paying again to send their children to private school). As to your "Wrong!" comment, your post changed the subject more than it attacked my point. There are private schools specifically created to deal with the most difficult students. These schools often receive money from the public school system to take care of such students. This is a rather special case of private school. Most private schools are not set up like this, and many school systems do not send problem students to schools like these, but such schools do exist, they aren't even extraodinarily rare.
