Yet private schools operate spending less per child than a public school and achieve better results.
I'm sorry but I must disagree, from the years I was in private schools and the years in public, I can confidently say that private schools have such a great turn out because they kick out anyone who is not up to par.(they are then sent to public schools and there you go.)

I have also noticed that while many people from private schools are book smart, they aren't practically smart.(this is more of a generalization from my observations and is not meant to apply to anyone here)
