You are a bit over confident. I'll put my to 25 students up against the
top 25 eighth graders any private school in my county can muster. I've
had kids from my algebra classes go to "elite" private high schools, and
not one has failed to ace the placement exams. I've had kids tranfer
into my class from private schools, and never has such a student been
tops in my class.
The issue isn't public schools vs. provate schools, but good schools vs.
bad schools. There are plenty of each in both catagories.

I mean the word proof not in the sense of the lawyers, who set
two half proofs equal to a whole one, but in the sense of a
mathematician, where half proof = 0, and it is demanded for
proof that every doubt becomes impossible.
