And what you said has disproven nothing I said. Like I said, it's all about money and parity and teacher involvement. Privates are only better because they have more money and can afford to pick and choose who goes to their schools.
Yes, minorities who can get into private school do better. That is because they still come out of the poor, urban schools overwhelmingly. Private schools have more money and can focus those resources on normal kids getting better grades.
Give a public schools the money they need, and restructure the bureaucracy to keep the money from getting into the administrations hands, and you will see schools hit some kind of parity with the privates. What you want to do will seriously jeopardize the unfortunate masses.
The government spends more on the poor kids, yeah. But the average per kid is 1,100. You start leveraging that money and you either have to raise taxes, or most kids end up with little to nothing. What the government can give to americas children to go to private schools will not cover their educational costs and most americans will be stuck in some of the worst schools that have ever been in america. Unless of course you want to raise taxes dramatically?
Do it your way and the poor will be stuck in a pit they can't get out of in a fully free market system.
