You're mistaken. Your own numbers and the sources you claimed to cite undeniably showed the public schools were far safer than the TBS. The end result of the discussion seemed to bring everyone to that same point. I had thought you were on board with that as well?
Sometimes it helps to revisit the numbers. Lets take another look:
There is a clear advantage in having a child in a private program versus the public sector.I think you will see that after you eliminate the state run hospitals and boot camps the numbers look pretty good.
NCES still has not released their data for 2004-2005 year..... as soon as it becomes availble I will add the figures in.
