Why is Public schooling better than other types, or is it?

* it accepts all and reject none

* it works with students with special needs

* it is the only system in the world that gurantees the right to education through 12th grade

* abiding by the First Amendment, it does not hold one religion above all others and welcomes students from all religions and backgrounds

* its teachers go through a rigorous licensure process to become highly qualified in their content areas

* because its funds come from taxes, its school boards are elected officials who oversee how taxpayer dollars are used (vouchers will never work because private school boards are not elected positions, and vouchers would therefore create taxation without representation)

* it’s a system held to strict standards and guidelines open to and yearly reported to the public

Private schools cannot lay claim to any of the above points.
