To be honest, your suggestions would actually make the article worse. Anecdotal evidence is worse than no evidence at all. Anecdotal evidence is extremely prone to bias and gives one the illusion of knowing what's happening, when in reality, they don't.
If you really want to know what's happening, you would have to
A) Poll a large distributed sample of students/parents
B) construct objective and meaningful metrics by which the private/public schools can be compared
Both A and B are extremely expensive, and do you really think western news readers like you and me would pay back CNN for such a major investment?
- jstewartmobile 10y agoSo, adding the anecdotal opinions of the schooled to the heavily biased and anecdotal opinions of the two camps of schoolers makes it worse? I think I'd have to try harder to make this article worse. If we take your value system here to the next step, it would be better if the article weren't written in the first place. Not a bad value system! Option A is a waste of time. B has merits. "Expensive" is relative. For what they pay Anderson Cooper alone, they could run a first-class news room.
