Sure it is, private school systems on the whole are far more efficient in their use of money, it only makes sense, they are directly accountable to parents, not insulated like the public schools. Another benefit is that my son is not being subjected to government brainwashing, disguised as teaching The public school system has churned out a huge mass of Obama zombies.

The point I was making, which seems to have been missed, is that the Public School system maybe paying part of the expense of operating the Private School.  Unless the cost to the public school system is deducted from the per student cost of public schools and added to and calculated in the per student cost of private schools, they cannot be an accurate comparison

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Let me bottom line it for you, the government schools are crap at any price.
Rights are like muscles, when they are not exercised they atrophy.

If you notice, I do not defend them at all...and I agree.....most anything run by or controlled by the government is less effective that a private venture or one run by a more local government (not that local government bodies are more efficient but that the people have more control over them),

But if I see an invalid argument, even if it supports my view and opinion, I will point it out. 

Our side will not benefit by using faulty arguments to further our cause. 

We often criticize  the Anti-firearm proponents for their use of incorrect statistics, semi-truths and outright lies in their arguments.  We not only lessen our arguments, but ourselves also, by doing the same.
