Sorry, science is harder then that.

(You must process your statistics to account for any confounding variables....)

You haven't even BEGUN to show an analysis that establishes your claim.

(Oh, and, by the way... exactly WHICH claim do you want to prove now? You keep *changing them* without notice. First it was "private schools" are BOTH "cheaper" AND "produce better educational results" then public schools... while now you seem to be on to some other kind of claim --- something about the harms of unions on education.)

STICK WITH SOMETHING... then show evidence for it. :-)

(Or... we could do statistics your way! See: 'last year in your particular county rainfall was up 10% over the long-term average. While over the preceding five years your county paved 12% more roads. Therefore: asphalt *causes* rain!' :-)
