It does indeed. Perhaps you can also verify how bad some of the public schools are and how poor the product on both sides is, another incentive for placing one's children in a private system.
There are some wonderful public (and private) school teachers. That being said, there are some that lack the passion and purpose. Many people go into the profession to make a difference, but sadly, the difference isn't always good. As with any area, to some, teaching is a job rather than deliberate choice. Kids sense a person's true character. The kids know when I'm having my good days...and my infrequent bad day. Same theory holds true for teachers that want to be there for the right reasons. Kids can tell. Some become disillusioned with teaching not because of the kids, but because of administration and parents. Teachers are blamed when parents don't take responsibility for the kids that they've raised. Teachers are blamed when administrators need a scapegoat. Parents are a child's firt teacher. If a parent is lacking personal accountability, it's likely that the child will as well. When that same child misbehaves or fails or cheats, those irresponsible parents blame the teacher. I had a parent tell me and the team (middle school) that her son was our problem when he was in school and she didn't want to deal with him. His reckless behavior has increased...and Mom wants to blame the teachers. I hope that answers a bit of your question...I may have gotten "off topic". Let me know and I'll add more:)
