That was in a college course right ? And the video was on cringe ? <| sep |> I can ' t find a solid source saying that private school education has a distinct advantage over public . 19 out of the 20 universities in the US are private . The majority of the top 50 universities in the country are private , so the idea that public schools will be any different from the universities flies in the face of reality . One of the big issues with private education is the separation of church and state religion should not be taught as a class in schools . This is literally the 10 th time where I address this issue . We have 2400 private universities , some of which are Catholic or various denominations of Christians , and they ' re not allowed to spend any of the public money on religious teachings . They also have to comply with Title IX , so don ' t worry , there will be no creationism . The idea that public schools will be any different from the universities flies in the face of reality . Private education has proven itself better time and time again .
