I will not say that private schools are a panacea.  But I do have an
anecdote which convinced me that my children will never go to public
school:

   Last year, my nephew was in first grade in a public school.  He
   consistently came home with the highest grades in his class.  His
   teacher heaped praise on him anytime my sister asked about his 
   progress.

   This year, my nephew is in a private school.  When the school year
   started, he was behind his class in math and reading and was put
   into an after school remedial program.  He has since caught up with
   the rest of the class, but what does this say about the difference
   in the education that he received last year versus this year?
