Better outcomes? Who knows. Better for parents. Doesn't matter. Cheaper? No clue. No one even asks.
The perception that rich #######s might be snubbing the masses and getting something better - well that crap has to get shut down.

This has been an interesting discussion. However, I'm not sure why you think that people with concerns about the level of public support for private schools have abandoned "data driven" decision making? It seems to me that there are some legitimate questions to be asked.
For example, one of my concerns (admittedly I don't know a lot about the education system) is the potential "two tier" consequences of higher teacher salaries at private schools. Do private schools siphon the best teachers from the public school system? If so, that would be one negative consequence to consider, no?
