Aaarg! Hoist the black flag!
One real advantage my kids paro... er private school has is that the parents are invested in it financially and that leads to an emotional investment that shouldn't be discounted. None of us wants to throw money away, so if we think we see mismanagement we are on it and we are listened to because we are customers and partners. We are middle class / working class parents who've decided that education is too important to be left to the political and often politicized system.
