So are you saying we should start turning kids away in order to keep classroom sizes down? Because that seems to be a little bit of what you are hinting at. Education is a universal right - and that has to be taken into account here.

I'm not saying they should turn kids away... I'm hinting at the fact that they are simply fulfilling a mandate with no care for the individual children. Education is a universal right, so we have universal education. Cold hard logic. They overcrowd schools, underpay teachers (not that its their fault, but its the essential ruin of the public institution, as they tend to get ridden like rented mules to the extent that the end result is mediocre at best, like the healthcare system)... so the ones that can afford better go to a better source that pays their teachers something worthy of a professional with two degrees, and treats the children as people, not an assignment.
I'd also say that private schools have a more vested interest to be benevolent because people are paying them to provide a service. Public schools lack that vested interest. That's all I'm saying.
