One Reason Not to Be a Fan of Private Schools

They can pretty much do what they want to teachers because teachers are "at-will" employees. Even if a teacher doesn't do anything wrong and is a domestic violence victim, it doesn't mean much when parents threaten to pull their kids out of a school and with it take the tuition the private school needs to operate.

Private schools want that money, and they will bend over backwards for parents to make sure they get that money.

This kind of thing would never happen in public schools because there is no money involved, unless you have a cowardly shitfaced principal who doesn't care about anything other than his or her image or is an abuser and bully like the ex.
