<<I think it is just the opposite. There is far more diversity of ideas and teachers in private schools. It is in the nature of big organizations to enforce uniformity.>> Public schools are not large organizations. They hire at the local level, principle by principle. that means a random cross section of philosophies. I did a ton of subsitute teaching when young and sat behind many desks. Right left and center and brilliant to idiotic. There was no large doctrine for hiring, pretty much just whomever the local administrator wanted or even jsut principle of each school. So public schools give kids a full spectrum of ideas, the good, bad and ugly. That is real life. But you take a private school and they do have a doctrine e.g. Bringham Young or Notra Dame.
