Public Schools vs. Private Schools.

[The One and Only...]

Oh ho! Now we find the secret to your system! Performance figures would increase because schools would be allowed to stack the deck! How absolutely pompous of you.

There are easier ways to improve performance figures than that. Like making the tests easier. But any business has to consider all of the consequences of such actions.

Do you not realize that the beauty of private schools is that different ones will be founded for different needs?

Maybe it's because, on average, Americans are stupider and more ignorant than everyone else in the world. What do expect your kids to be like, then? Monkey see, monkey do.

Actually, some countries exclude their underachievers from taking the tests that determine such data. Also, our schools have switched from focusing on the intellectuals and moved into "No Child Left Behind."

Let me just ask you people this: do reject the idea that business is more efficient (i.o.w. more bang for the buck) than government? If you do, then we have found our ideological difference.
