as someone who attended all private and had lifelong friends from the neighborhood, as well as dealings with public transfers in highschool...
As well as rechecks 10-15 years after high school..
I can tell you the "class" of the person who attends private school is on a whole nother level than a public school kid. I am not saying there aren't good public schools and good public school people at all. I am saying there is an OBVIOUS difference in life choices, cultural choices, and attitude choices.
Attitude difference is a good term. There is a behavioral difference between a public kid and a private kid. It has nothing to do with money and probably very little to do with religion. It has more to do with INTELLIGENT parents, The more intelligent the parents, the more likely they are to select private school.
So the public/private dichotomy in the US is not because of any other reason than natural selection taking place by the PARENTS of the student.
Even the biggest private school fuckup will have a little bit of a different demeanor and attitude and behavior than a public school fuckup.
There is a problem and that is why this is a political issue as these students are human capital, as well as your FUTURE NEIGHBORS.
