On the other hand, a private school cares deeply about the individual student since they are expected to fulfill a service that is being paid handsomely for. Private schools would not exist if public schools were perceived to be doing an excellent job to the standards many people expect and desire.
Its not a black and white argument.

The question he asked does in fact have a pretty black and white answer. He asked his question and the way it was worded, I answered it accordingly.
If he had asked "Who provides the best education", the answer is easy, private schools. They hire/pay top dollars to the best teachers. Likewise the teachers probably do a better job because they are paid more money and would like to keep the job/benefits it entails.
He asked "Who is concerned more about the education of the local children?" - I think the one that provides as best they can for little to no cost (apart from fees), and to as many children that need it would be the one that is concerned the most about the "local" children. Private schools care about the education of the local children... if they can pay for it.
