The ones I am referring to are municipal school districts open for residents of Germantown, Collierville, and Arlington. They are public schools. The funding per pupil is less than SCS.

I didnt even get into some of these religious private schools where the quality of education varies widely.

Id agree with you that most private schools are better but it's not uncommon for wealthier suburban district public schools to outperform religious based private schools where education isnt always the first focus...

I have nieces in various parts of the country who went to great public schools and were granted early admission to Baylor, University of Texas, USC, Stanford and Tulane.

And what do those very few examples have in common with the private schools?
There are “public schools” that absolutely are not public schools.

Edit: for example there are a couple of those supposedly public schools in Chattanooga that are not far behind on academic standards. ….but….just like private schools they’re not open enrollment. You have to apply to get in and meet a standard. Had I not been able to afford private education I would have absolutely gone that route.

You're views are incredibly distorted with a negative bias against public education.
The right wing has long made a concerted effort to portray public education in the worst possible way. (to the detriment to society at large - but that is their thing)

The public/private education debate is so much more than you evidently care to consider.

It would make a great thread.

I don't think anyone has to portray it any way, not even sure how that group would do it. Public education went to **** because of people like you.

An observation I don't see anybody else discussing about public school quality is the accelerated paths inside a large school. That's what one of my kids did.

He attended the largest school in the county but he was in the honors curriculum. Had it's own teachers and own hall of the school. Those kids scored exceptionally well and had a lot of opportunity for higher education. Even though the overall scores for the school are lower than average.

That's an excellent point.
I always tell people who are evaluating schools to look at the quintiles. If your kid is in the upper 20%, then your focus should be on how that group performs in the school.
A school's overall data/numbers can be very misleading.
I know of many public schools where the top 10-20% outperform the top students at any surrounding private school.

The other thing that many fail to consider is that most private schools are strictly college prep. So their totals should only really be compared to the public school's top 10%-40% ----- depending on the college rates of the school.
Public schools in my district offer dozens of career readiness pathways - agriculture, welding, construction, cosmetology, culinary, transportation/warehouse etc...

My son attending that school was conditional that he was only in AP/Honors. I was for more intimidated by a 2000 student school than he was. He did well academically. He also took advantage of extra curriculars a school of that size offers.

As parents we become very myopic about how our child finds "success". America is littered with average students from bad schools who do well. I know folks who went to community college, finished as a budget friendly 4 year, and were able to find excellent opportunities within their field of study. I know kids who passed because the teacher didn't want them in class next year who are the epitome of blue collar rich. And, I know some who came from people of wealth who chose to work in underpaid, but noble, fields like education or ministry.

Sometimes a post simply speaks for itself. It's fascinating to see how polluted some minds have become.

Yes, you calling people every name in the book is something to see. This is why you hide all these views from your family members.

Just call the Orange man Hitler out in a normal public place and watch all the people scramble from the nut guy.

Luther, I'm not the one melting down every day and yes you have been melting, and the best place for you was probably off the board as mentality you are pudding. (there isn't anything I can do about that but to encourage you to try and help yourself)

No, you are sucking off the government which can't pay the bills.

The rest of your statement in the context I am reading doesn't make sense, you didn't pay for what you got now so now you want to double, triple, quadruple it, etc.

No, we have a bunch of insane people like you walking around which doesn't want to admit they're unhinged which is why you have to hide all these views from your family. You are self aware enough to know its not going to work but not wanting to fully admit the degree of your problem(s). It could be worse, as you are a weak man, someone like Jawtator probably could do some serious harm.

What is the difference between these two, not much, one is strong and one is weak. Just because you haven't carried it out, doesn't mean you are not mentality damaged. So, I don't think you would do direct physical harm to others but no you should not be in a position that impacts people to a large degree and certainly shouldn't be around education.

There are public schools that are at least as good as private. There's not just a "few" of them either. Those that don't require special applications either. Far more of those than the type you mentioned. Of course the great public schools are in high property tax districts and mostly available to only the kids living in those upper middle - upper class districts. So it's all about funding or a lack of it

Opinions vary as does your location but overall public education is an absolute disaster in this country and it’s only getting worse

He has no idea how stuff works, doesn't understand how he isn't even paying enough today to pay for it, but he wants to quadruple down on what doesn't work and which he doesn't even understand.

Its the, "we need more legislation" brainwashed crowd. He doesn't know the present system but he just needs more.

While Pritzker is a morbidly obese clown, he hits the nail on the head about Trump:

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” Pritzker said in a telephone interview with the Tribune. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head. He can’t get it out of his head. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to ‘dementia’ and obsessive fixations

In a scathing critique of President Donald Trump, Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday accused the Republican president of deploying National Guard troops to the Democratic cities of Chicago and Portland based on fixations that stem in part from his being mentally impaired. “This is a man who’s suffering...
