Well Harry's school would test a lot higher but they have to include there football team's scores.:biglmao: Sure there's ways AROUND that as well.hh:

You, hop24, are also misinformed. Private schools don't subject themselves to the government generated school tests.

Also, I was astounded to learn that you have more than one mind. And, to be honest, I'll bet most everyone would prefer to be rich over being poor.

But, so much for that. For the sake of balance, let me present a private school argument. Keep in mind that, unlike your government schools, private schools don't slop at the public tax dollar trough. We entirely foot our own bills. And, we also pay all those schools real estate taxes and federal and state income taxes that go into running the government schools. Further, since it is reasonable to assume that, overall, those who support private schools (I believe you said 5%) nonetheless pay far more than their proportional share of the total tax bill. Now, just imagine how it would be if we were allowed to use our share of the pot to support our own schools rather than your government schools (which, of course, are of no benefit to us).

The end result would be that the private schools would be even more competitive than we are at the present time and your government schools would either have to gleam more taxes from you or be in financial trouble. You boys never seem to be aware of the fact that we fund our own but we also fund you.

Now, I'm not whining about the situation. I choose private schools. I am just thankful that I can do so although I'm paying double, so to speak.
