This last part stems from an extremely robust advanced placement course system that every student is required to participate in at least 5 course.

To get back to the OP, do you feel that the government should take some of the money that is intended for public education (and from the sounds of it could use more money to bring class sizes down) and give it to your childrens' private schools that they attend to give them an advantage over the children in public schools?
