You can't compare the public schools in PA and MD to Long Island schools. Long Island has one of the top school systems in the United States.
even the worst private school is better than the best public school. if you have ever gone and seen one you would know. if you can afford private its a no brainer. public schools everywhere broken. public school supporters are just people who don't have money for private.
Completely false, and people who actually SPEND that money to send their kids to private schools (like I do) know that. Sounds like you are just someone who wishes they had the means to send their kids private and are frustrated by the shortcomings of their public school system.
As a point of reference, I have three kids, two of whom attend private, one who attends public (not in LI, PA or MD, but in CT) and the one who attends public was accepted at a very competitive private school but chose to decline because of overall fit for him as a student.
Granted, many public schools are facing problems, but there are quite a few that rival even top private schools.
can't compare public vs private. you can debate if the pvt tuition is worth it but substantially superior across the board
