For most of my life private school in this area meant the Catholic school. The kids of the wealthy went there, and the kids who got tossed out of public school went there.

Same by me.  That's why my bro went to military schools and then Catholic school in my hometown, where he graduated.  He didn't get kicked out of public school, but he just had too many problems going there and needed more discipline.  He went to two different military schools.  I think he got kicked out of the first.  Then he had to go to another one further away.  He's always been difficult ... since he was born, my mom said.  He's not all bad.  I am only one of my siblings who hangs out with him and talks to him.  When I tell him to STFU, he listens to me.  He doesn't do that for my siblings and if he gets mad, it's even worse.  My hulk bro's wife is super sweet, would never say an unkind word to anyone, and he has said horrible things to her.

I think, especially for really privileged kids, it's good to be around normal people too and not be segregated and only go to school with wealthy kids.  It creates blinders.  I went to school with kids from all sorts of economic classes.  It didn't hurt me.  At a certain point education is all what you do with it and how much effort and how naturally intelligent you are.  In terms of what you get out of it, as long as your school is safe, it doesn't really matter so much what school you go to in reality. 

I did deal with gang sh1t going to a public high school, which I wouldn't have dealt with I went to catholic school, but my hulk bro started all that by beating a few of them up and it spiraled to many fights, drawing me in too, and eventually having a gun pointed in my stomach.

The reality is for a lot of kids, they go to even worse schools when it comes to this. I'd rather fix than than give money to rich people to send their kids to private schools.  If they do that, there is non incentive for them to fix our schools, cause they don't give a eff.  It doesn't effect their kids and they don't give a eff if it effects the kids of people who are less well off.  It's all about them.
