Well, I'm no mathematician but if memory serves, ten times precious
little is damning with faint praise. But, to answer what we both
think may be your question, yes, I have been to privately owned,
funded, and operated schools. What I've found they ALL have in common
is not only that I eventually left all of them, but also that they
have precisely that in common with all of the publicly owned, funded,
and operated institutions of learning that I have visited. Of course,
it need scarcely be pointed out that there are many of both sorts I
have not yet graced or defiled with my presence.

Strange world, ainna?

Meanwhile, for what little it's worth, the majority of educational
institutions I've been enrolled at were of the public sort. It should
hardly be necessary to point out that neither they nor I go out of our
way to offer unsolicited advertisements of our association. On the
other hand, none of us has, to the best of my knowledge, ever
categorically denied affiliation.

Does any of this help?
