Many good private schools have a waiting > list, so that hurts them not in the least. If a private school has a waiting list, they can be indifferent to the loss of the occasional unhappy customer. This is not a bad thing. But a private school can not systematically ignore the wishes of parents in general. There are not private schools where most of the parents believe the school does not educate their kids, or where most parents think the school is a dangerous place for their kids to go. There are certainly public schools like that. Matt
