I think you may be brushing that paint with a pretty broad stroke. Catholic school doesn't give you a automatic ticket to well behaved kids or reasonably self sufficient adults by default.

I think if you dropped a "most" in front of " Teachers are still in charge, " this may be a little more agreeable.

Ive have tried private school and public with Bryce. Both have positives and negatives. To characterize " Most public schools as being run by the inmates " I believe is simply not a fact. An opinion based on your area at best maybe.

There are approximately 98,000 k-12 public schools in the US.

Fast Facts

The are approximately 33,000 k-12 private schools in the US.

What might make sense is that public schools turn out idiot kids at a rate of 3-1.

Now that I am buying.
