the riffraff can be kept out.

Among other things, this is what can and does kill good public schools. By law, they have to accept any human of the right age who lives in the district. One or two “bad families” can wreak havoc on a school. I’ve seen it happen more than once. As a teacher you pray that they’ll move away. Families that can afford an alternative school will pull their good kids out to get them away from the bad ones.

Two bad kids in a class will take up 50-70% of a teacher’s time. Three or four in a class will guarantee that little learning will take place as long as they are there. If the kids are of a “protected class” or God forbid “handicapped”, the school’s hands are pretty much tied.

I’m not at all wealthy, I’m someone that sacrifices to put my child in a private school.

You are basically advocating “open borders” of private schools, which would absolutely destroy these schools. Import from Africa, become the same as Africa. Import from the Public School, become the same as the Public School.
