Go check some of the major cities around America. They're graduating below 50% of the kids, and require over $10,000 per student. Not every school provides a great education. Heck, in my county alone, we have huge variance. The school my wife graduated from requires about $9,000 per student in taxpayer funding, and graduates about 81% of kids. Comparatively, the one I should have gone to graduates 93% of kids, and requires only $5,500 per student in taxpayer funding. Let me throw something crazy at you: What if private education is cheaper than public education? Where I live, it is. You know how much our local private school costs? About $4,000 per student - lower than any nearby school. That is why many that like private education believe in vouchers - that kids have the right to education, regardless of the facility. If private schools are really better, why can't you take the money you've paid into the system and send your kids to a better place if it costs the same amount of money? |
In some possible cases, private may be cheaper but you have you to pay the lot up front, most people can't afford it. At least with public education, everyone pays for it in there taxes and thus it is less for a single person to pay. And unfortunately, whether it is private or not, the quality of education really varies between each school. Also, if your rely completely on the private sector, then there is bound to be gaps missed by them that public schools have to fill anyway.
It may be a bad stereotype, but i see private schools to be like this~http://www.etoncollege.com/Home.aspx
