    St. Marcus Lutheran gets to cherry pick which students it allows in; public schools must accept every student.

    Even when cherry picking the best students, private schools still don't manage to do any better than public schools.

    St. Marcus Lutheran does. Why don't you want black parents to be able to make choices about their kids education? You racist.

    We need options for poor people to get their kids out of failing public schools with abysmal outcomes. Even Joe Biden acknowledged that "poor kids are just as smart as white kids". The problem is largely teacher unionization that doesn't allow schools to get rid of bad teachers or reward good ones. Add to that parents who are not engaged in their children's lives and soaring single motherhood and you get terrible outcomes for kids. Parents deserve more choices for educating their kids, but liberals and public school teachers just want to take ever more tax dollars while outcomes and proficiency continue to decline.

    How would you attract the best teachers while doing all that?

    By what metric?

    I can make my stats look real good too if I cherry pick only the best.

    WRONG!!

    The more you post, the more obvious it is that you've never attended ANY school.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Right because, as I said, they get to pick which students they accept.

    If they had to take every student, like public school does, they wouldn't have rigged stats to brag about.

    First of all, calm down.

    Secondly, private schools aren't obligated to take every student; public schools are. Public schools don't have the luxury of filtering through candidates to accept only the ones who will help make their test scores look better.

    Thirdly, your link says they might be significantly higher test scores. MIGHT. Which isn't an absolute or a definite "yes"...just a "might" or a "maybe".

    Show us where any private schools have denied admittance.

    Frankly, all private school stats should be better than public schools since private schools can pick and choose which students to accept.

    The fact that they aren't any better than public schools is an indictment that, even when it comes to a playing field rigged in their favor, they can't manage to blow anyone away with their results.

    Are you kidding?

    Private schools have admissions departments.

    What do you think those departments do?

    What a fucking idiot.
