"non-secular schools with lower standard"

Any source for this? My understanding is that most states have criteria for what needs to be taught in a primary and secondary school, regardless of public or non-secular. In my experience (attending, touring, friends who are teachers), the non-secular schools had higher standards.

"concentrating behavior issue and IEP kids in public schools"

Public schools in many areas are increasingly doing this by sending G-IEP to entirely separate schools. Indirectly, they are also doing this by increasing school population. Smaller communities tend to better self-police. The biggest issue is the lack of appropriate involvement followed by the lack of leverage the school has. In some areas, some non-public schools even get district IEP resources for their IEP students, so they aren't all avoiding it.

IE public school has to pay but the money goes to the non-public.


Yeah... imagine if private schools didnt exist and they had to pay all the money the way they complain about budgets already.
