Just because you send your kids to a private school doesn't mean they are getting a better education. Also, just because someone doesn't send their kids to private school but owns a boat doesn't mean they don't value their kid's education. There's a slight chance or even a decent chance they are getting a slightly better education, but there's not as big of a gap as most think. The real reason, though no one will admit it, is status amongst peers, social circles for their kids and themselves, lack of minorities, and religion.

I bet the people that send their kids to boarding schools will admit this. The again, most of the private school talk here is about private schools in Louisiana. I doubt a private school in Louisiana is in the Top 100 private schools in the nation.

I 100% disagree with everything you said.
