    All schools have "admissions departments."

    Show us where any private schools have denied admittance, you brainless twit.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Key element always missing when someone advocates financing private schools is that private schools can flush students, they can reject those they don't want, and throw our those they rather not have. They are always going to appear more accomplished

    Public schools can not discard, they have to find a way to teach all students, make the private schools take and keep everyone and you wouldn't see the supposed accomplishments they boast

    NO THEY DON'T!

    Public schools don't have an admissions department, because public schools are obligated to take every student.


    Show us where any private schools have denied admittance, you brainless twit.
    Yes. Generally, federal anti-discrimination laws only apply to public schools or schools that receive federal funding. This means private schools are generally exempt from many federal discrimination laws. Many private schools base admission on a theme, such as a religious belief or sex.

    Who gives a shit. They offer parents a better outcome. Why is that justification for public school teachers to come and throw a temper tantrum?

    They don't offer a better outcome, though! When all are taken into account, the results aren't that much better than public schools...which is sad because private schools can cherry pick who they admit.

    You may get to pick, but the private school doesn't have to pick you

    Guarantee your opinion would change if such occurred and then you found out the funding your school was suppose to receive to make it a better school was instead going to that private school that rejected you

    Anyone else notice that liberals seem to think that tax dollars belong to them and not the taxpayers?

    Uh, yes they do. You think kids just walk in?

    You still didn't show us where any private schools have denied admittance.

    How would you attract the best teachers while doing all that?
    If they suck at what they do, their employment should be vulnerable. Unions prevent the bad ones from being removed. Why do you want sub par teachers in the schools?
