First, there is a massive selection effect going on here (motivated parents).
Second, let's see what happens if we fund private and public schools equivalently. Class sizes of 10 don't happen by accident.
Paying for private education "twice" is just part of rich people paying for the society that enabled them to become and stay rich.
- dpratt71 6y agoIt's really too bad that the only way we can be sure rich folk pay their fair share is to charge them twice for private education. Otherwise, my mother may not have felt it necessary to work the overnight shift at the local factory for decades in order to provide us with the basic necessities and a private school education.

Detroit get's $14k per student. Cost of living in Detroit is low and barely anyone who graduates is literate. I don't think funding's the problem.
