I pay a great deal of $$$$ to send my kids to private schools.
They get straight As and score extremely high on aptitude and skills tests.
They play sports and also get reinforcement of morals and ethics (through religion) while public schools teach the opposite.

Best money I ever spent.
Around here, public schools suck. They are run by left wing extremists who want nothing more than to suck the taxpayer's wallets dry while brainwashing their children to be good little commies.

Add to that the fact that 1/4 of the "students" in public schools in the people's republic of kaifornia can't speak fluent English and it just makes things worse.
