Milwaukee had private Catholic schools that blew the competition out of the water. Republicans came in and made magnet chater schools that only let in the best of the best. They, too, blew the public schools out of the water.
The black parents said it was unfair, and opened up charter schools populated by students that won a “school lottery”, but used the same techniques and curriculum that the magnet and catholic schools used. Those student did worse then public school students.
As it turns out, the selection bias of putting rich catholic students or the best of the best in one school over-powered the fact that the private curriculum and techniques were a hinderence to learning. Once the students that have parents that value education (and pay large sums for it) and the students that have high aptitude are removed, more private schools won’t help the remaining students.
