black (that's who I'm generally speaking of but it can apply to others) people pay taxes to fund public schools, we should be able to send our kids there. But at the same time, we don't control the school system & that affects what is taught & how its taught & how our kids are judged, graded, & labeled.

If we (en masse) remove our kids from public schools & place them into our own private schools we still must pay the public system as well as fund our own. Also,since tend not to own our own, we can't hire our graduates. The issue then becomes will those outside our community recognize the credentials we've established. We'd still have to pass tests set up by others. In the case of certain standardized tests this could be a problem, less for math than for verbal/written. A lot of the concerns with standardized tests have to do with culture specific type questions.
