Default Re: Science Education in America: Why I\'m Homeschooling My Kid in Scie

Having been in both the public and private systems twice, I had a worse education in the private system than I ever did in the public system (this is Australia BTW). Apart from that the main difference was much nicer schoolgrounds and hotter, sluttier girls, which is important imo but irrelevant to the question of science.

BTW, where is the objective evidence that the private system is so much better? I don't see a huge differential in published studies of the US education system, and that's despite the fact that the children of those with means tend to go these schools.
