Private School educate better than public schools?

After the article mentioned in the previous post our ANTI friends immediately made unsubstantiated claims about private schools being better than public schools.

Not true, of course, as anyone who looks at the literature knows.

Public school students do every bit as well as private schools, charter schools, home schooling children, etc on standardized math, science and reading tests. Evem better if you let public schools select which students that will attend their schools and which students will take the tests as private schools do. Of if you let public school pick and choose which tests they will give their students as private schools do. Give us those same advantages that the private schools have and we will not only do as well we will clean their clocks.

Our teachers are smarter, better educated and work far harder than any private school "high school graduate, maybe" private school teacher.

I have dealt with and tried to help the victims of some of the extremophile private religious schools in Vista when these poor victims re-enter public schools for a real education. (I say this as outraged Christian who spent more than twenty years as a Sunday School teacher and more than five years as a director of a Christian scouting group that had hundreds of children in attendence each Wednesday night and as a Church Board member as well. I AM ANGRY at the terrible education many of our local children are getting at local religious schools and in their home school teaching curriculums).

Here is what I blogged in responce to one member of our ANTI education crowd:

"Private schools educate better than public schools" Oh really?

Like the private religious school in Vista that has a "science" teacher who tells his student victims that "there was no such thing as dinosaurs. They were just bones of large animals put together in fanciful ways by scientists."

If this newspaper blog would allow me I would give you the name of the school, the teacher, and the student victim who came to my class the following year after the having a nut case fanatic as a "science" teacher at this "wonderful" private school. (Blog Editor's Note: It is the Missouri Synod, Lutheran Church school located near Vista High School. I believe it is on the corner of San Clemente and Bobier.)

I showed the boy a picture of complete dinosaur skeletons with the bones perfectly in place, half in and half out of the rock, from Dinosaur National Monument in Vernal, Utah. The bones had been there without being moved by the scientist since the day the dinosaurs died. The scientist only cleaned off the top half of the bones so that the viewing public could see what the dinosaur bones looked like in situ (in place, unmoved).

Glad I could help that one boy but what about the hundreds of other victims at that Vista private "school"? Who will give them the correct picture?
