> a large portion of these students is the "privileged poor" Yes I know that is my whole point. A large portion? What does that mean? The number of destitute minority kids going to top elite preparatory schools is an incredibly tiny number, vastly less than a tenth of a percent of students overall, and completely statistically insignificant. Very very few students in the US go to elite prep schools and only a tiny number of those are poor or minority. Claiming that's "a large portion" doesn't seem to be supported by data and is just a gross exaggeration focusing on irrelevant fictions and thus is very unhelpful, counterproductive and disingenuous. Such fictions harm people. On a tangental topic, I do agree that destitute minority kids going to top elite preparatory schools gives them an advantage and that the quality of education at such schools is vastly superior to that of public schools in general. Why is this so given that private school teachers on average are paid less than public school teachers. How is it that public school teachers consistently fail to achieve good results, particularly with disadvantaged and minority students who are massively disadvantaged by public schools but achieve parity with rich white advantaged students both in elite private school and homeschool settings, including homeschool settings with low spending and unqualified parent teachers.
