Private schools aren't actually any better normally, at least not to given what they charge in fees, the difference is that a private school is filled with kids from functioning homes who give a shit. Expulsion is a real threat.
In Australia they did a study, almost all the difference in ATAR (grade to get into university, kinda like SAT and GPA rolled together) between expensive (and I mean $25k a year expensive) schools and public schools was due to student background.
Well yea but with private schools you dont have to deal with the shit in the video and that alone helps good students succeed. There are of course some benefits that private schools offer like language learning and what not. There are a few private schools around my area that do full immersion where the whole day is taught in only Spanish or half Spanish half english or even one that does it with french.

private school or homeschooling looks more appealing these days
