Tracking, pace, small class sizes, and excluding disruptive students makes ALL the difference.

It's the difference between a bespoke education delivered by an excellent teacher, and a shit cookie cutter education delivered by a scantron machine.

I don't disagree with you. Buy private shools aren't bespoke tutoring in the tradition of the European aristocracy or student-driven explorations of the world, they are the same lecture/ work/ small project/ test structure of public schools.

The extra teaching resources are there and available for students that want or need them. Most students just care not to.
