For anyone interested in learning more about the education bubble, there is a good article in this month's Fortune magazine about the creation of a new for-profit K-12 school in NYC:

The article highlights some really interesting and shocking facts about private K-12 education (i.e. Harvard's 2010 acceptance rate was 6.9%, while acceptance to NYC's top private schools combined was 5.0%; Harvard's 2010-11 tuition was $34,976 and Horace Mann's tuition was $35,670).
