they have special needs. So in your search for a school public or private
that would already be a consideration. The question still stands, would you
rather personally send your children to a public or private school. This
question assumes the parents have enough common sense to know if their
children have a disability or special needs.

Your question is being disingenuous. Are the schools equal in all aspects,
do they take all children, those with behavior /emotional problems, those
with learning disabilities, and what about those with handicaps. Unless you
can equate them in all cases its an unfair comparison. When you compare
public and private schools, you have to look at everything. AS I've
mentioned before in the past there is a huge dataset (over 20,000 students
- see the NORC 2000 and Beyond dataset) where children were followed
throughout their school career. On the average students from private
schools did not do any better than those who received a public education.
All too often the differences that were found were in how the students were
culled from the private system, so that fairly rapidly the only ones left
were those who did not need the extra help or tutoring, or 2nd language
instruction etc.
