On thing that gets way overlooked in this debate, that I just recently learned, is that private schools aren't required to take students that need special attention/resources such as ESL, or kids with disabilities.

So when every student is given the same funding, the schools that are required to take those students end up with students that on average require more funding, but are funded at the same per capita level.

Essentially private schools, when getting full funding, wind up with a higher ratio of funding/required resource/student.
