I wonder if the success rate of private schools has something to do with the students, the small class size, the type of teachers that are willing to often forgo higher pay for a better teaching environment, and the type of values at home that result in kids being sent to private school. Things may not be so sunny if those schools were flooded with domestically neglected kids from impoverished homes (financially or intellectually) that did nothing more than throw a voucher their way. I can only speculate.
