I thought they taught this in 8th grade economics.  Maybe your private school didn't bother.

I wasn't in 8th grade in 2016.

question: why do you bitch about Trump's tax plan? you should wait 2-4 years.

or are you trolling?

it's not limited to your system. it's the same garbage he's been spewing for years, with no actual knowledge of the situation. 

Your experience at any school is more dependent upon the parents involvement in their child's education than the school system itself.

Just taking the initiative to put your child in private school education is a clear indication that the parent has a vested interest and the financial backing to make these commitments.

If private schools were flooded with lower income children, English second language or children with learning dissabilities with parents that don't enforce good study habits the scores at private schools would plummet. 

Basically you are looking at two completely different scross sections of the general population and saying one is superior because of it's test scores while filtering out any reasons why the other can't match up. It's disengenuous.

Regardless of how you look at it, our system sucks and we rank quite low in first world countries for education.  This has been true for decades, with Republican presidents and congress and Democrat presidents and congress. 

Hell, there are some second world countries that rank higher than us.

Dayum!  She's like a black, dem, female version of Trump:

"Scott is alleged to have referred to Chang as "ching-chang" and "the ching-chong" to multiple voters outside polling precincts during last Tuesday's election. She's also said to have called one of Chang's campaign volunteers an “immigrant,” saying “you don’t belong here” and “I want you out of my country.”

It would appear that kids with parents who value education and hold their kids accountable to becoming educated will ultimately have more success than kids that don't regardless of where they go to school.

This is exactly what I was going to say. If I had to guess, I'd say that, on average, parents who send their kids to private school care more about their kids' education than parents who send their kids to public school. Why? Because if you're willing to pay for something you could get for free, you're going to put a lot more effort into ensuring your kid gets the most out of it.

My older brothers and me all went to public schools, and each of us is now enjoying a successful career where we're using our gifts and education. My parents didn't feel the need to send us to private school, but they definitely had expectations on us that we would try our hardest in school. 

@Tank, what would you say is the biggest predictor of whether a student in one of your classes will excel in school? I'd be surprised if your answer is anything other than the expectations placed on them by their parents. But maybe I'll be surprised.
