Or, as my kids might say: "Brutal."

Someone finally researched the bloody obvious: that private schools do better because they can weed out kids who don't do as well, not because they educate the kids they have any better. There may be an exception for Jesuit schools and other Catholic schools run by the orders, not the diosces. The SAT exception mentioned in the article is bullshit; private schools admit their scholarship students based precisely on SAT-like tests, and he's wrong that they're not based on innate ability - they're actually closely akin to IQ tests, which most folks who have any stake in them would like to claim measure something innate.
