What makes you think private schools don’t ‘pass kids on" I had the misfortune to go to one as a kid. Trust me. They DO pass kids on, quite regularly. Especially if they think that passing them on will make daddy and mummy more likely to pay extra at the fund raisers. Some of the dumbest, least educated kids in the school were the children of large donaters. And believe me, they passed, with A’s.And the education wasn’t any better, and in the end I hurt for the deliberate leaving out of various bits they disagreed with.I ended up spending extra time (and $$) in adult education classes in our local community college years later, making up the bits I missed. Biology, history, social and cultural education. All of it was highly slanted to their particular world view. No attempts what so ever to even nod to other cultures.Try working in a large multi-national corporation with THAT kind of mis-education…
