While I attended private schools from kindergarten to the third grade, I have become a vocal opponent of private schools. Don’t get me wrong; not all private schools are need. Likewise, not all public schools are bad. But parents spend inordinate amounts of money, sending their children to private schools for them to fare no better than if they had been in an adequately funded public school. I would point out in Montgomery, Alabama, that students from the private schools often went to state colleges. If in fact, these private schools were as superior as the parents and administrators claimed, then the students from said schools would be cherry picked by the ivy leagues.
great article.
Thanks my friend!
