The problem with a lot of private schools in America is their religious bias. They teach children what they want to teach, and the religion often supersedes science. If they don't get enough scientific education, the US will start to lag behind in scientific and technological development.

The US already lagged behind in science education under the current system and under past secretary's of education according to PISA testing so DeVos doesn't change anything as far as the downward projection goes ... 

In fact most developed countries aren't competitive with far more resource scarce east asia in education so it's clear we have to try and emulate their curriculum and I hope Betsy DeVos would see this eventually ...
