pearl - I did not say school size had to do with it. Smaller class sizes improve grades (obviously). When it comes to schools, I'd argue that they fail in America due to the the bureaucratic system that supports it - bad teachers with tenure (a failure of the public system that uses them), bad curriculum, ect.

Agreed.

And the amount of money spent is ridiculous!

private school charge $700 a month per student (elementary)

State pays over $10,000 per student.
