> Private schools can only charge as much as the demonstrated quality of their product
Part of my aversion to private schools has been about what constitutes 'quality'. For a lot of wealthy parents, 'quality' seems to mean that their kids get straight As without putting in much effort. Money corrupts. Private schools aren't going to easily give up on $30k a year.
- WoodenChair 6y agoThat’s not been my experience. A strong statement like that needs to be backed up by data not an anecdote though. Can you share a study showing private schools are less academically rigorous than public schools and/or give easier As?
- AlexTWithBeard 6y agoThat's not my experience. Many private schools are proud of their discipline and ability to squeeze all the sweat out of kids.
- cameronfraser 6y agoI went to a private school for 2 years in HS and it was far more challenging academically than public school, was also harder to get A's so I distrust your statement. Most private schools also have waiting lists to get in so doubt the schools care.
