This will get me flammed, but...
My opinion is that private school is just an extension of people's racism.
Especially here in the south, people send their kids to private school primarily because they don't want their kids to attend with all the students of color. Of course no one would ever admit that.
There are alot around here that homeschool for the same reasons and don't have to pay tuition.
Many of these schools are religious based, which seems hypocritical to me.
To boot, the teachers make less money than public school, the curriculum is restricted by religious dogma and there are fewer resources for science, art, etc. So it's not a better education.
