What is an "advanced education for grade schoolers"?

  It is a less offensive way to say “alternative to systematically underfunded and failing public schools”.

    Yup. I went to a Catholic high school, despite my family being basically non-practicing Presbyterians. And in an area with a ton of private schools. At the time public schools were a road to nowhere, and private schools were easily $20,000 in today's dollars, maybe $30,000 depending on the school. Catholic high school cost $8000 in today's dollars, and the only "downside" was a couple of mandatory masses.

  My local public school did not have advanced placement classes, only regular and support for learning disabilities. At least it had support for the learning disabled.
