see how many accept special needs kids. Now try the same with public
schools.
I'm willing to bet that only a very small minority of private schools
will accept a kid with cerebral palsy or ADHD, while all the public
schools will accept that kid. That makes a profound difference on the
resources that can be allocated to a kid.
By law public schools have, I repeat HAVE, to accept all children
regardless of their condition. Private schools can discriminate all
they want.
