Its the results that tell the performance of a particular school and I believe that the schools which have organisations and comitiees run far ahead of the govermental schools and deliver much better results. Just see the papers, they are full of photos of the toppers of the public and convent schools and they boast of the confidence they have in mushrooming a child to the highest zenith of the academic horizons!

I do not always agree. For one, government funded schools tend to be better on child acceleration programs like AP courses, for college credit, and International Baccalaureate series developments (government organized programs). For two, public schools foster a more diverse community for students to work with (at least in U.S. schools). My high school had a small black population, a small Hispanic population, Asian-Americans. The nearest charter schools (with special development programs and local funding) and private schools (Christian schools in particular) had almost none of these races.
In the US, government schools need help. But that doesn't mean that Christian schools don't damage the children. My wife went to Christian schools up to 11th grade, and the authority figures in the school could be downright abusive at times.
