    God why is it so hard to see that this should be the opposite?

    If you are paying your way to a good education, it should be an indication that you couldnt effectively stand out among the masses.

    If you get into publicly funded schools, it should indicate that you are the communities best and brightest.

      Get into public schools?

      These are not colleges. They have to accept everyone.

        I am obviously referring to colleges.

        Public colleges and public elementary schools both receive public education funds.

          You’re “obviously” referring to colleges while commenting on an article that is specifically referring to primary and secondary schools…

              Maybe next time you’ll be more clear when referring to a topic that is not the subject of the article you commented on. I actually assumed you were from the UK where public and private schools mean something closer to what you were saying but actually about secondary schools.

              So, again. Not obvious
