Private Schools Vs. Public Schools - Do You Get What You Pay For? School Psychology Podcast Episode 021

In this podcast, Dr. Weisz explores the supposedly surprising finding about public schools being as good or better than private schools. In a large scale study financed by the government, students were found to perform better in math on standardized tests in public schools versus private schools. Social and economic factors were controlled for in this evaluation. Part of the podcast episode focuses on cognitive biases that come into play in people's perceptions of private school superiority, such as the fact that you pay means it has to be superior.
