Often that's how they find the money to construct and repair the buildings.<BR/><BR/>Also, private schools tend to pay their teachers less. Which, to the people trying to privatize the school system, is not a bad thing. They don't think we're worth as much as we're already being paid.<BR/><BR/>Finally, private schools for the most part do not accept children with disabilities and thus don't have to pay the higher costs usually associated with educating them and which the public system must cover.<BR/><BR/>But other than that, private schools do a better job of educating kids (just ignore any studies saying they don't) at a lower cost.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499998503875108753noreply@blogger.com
