@Hfil66 making up “reasonable” hypothetical scenarios is a reasonable thing to do”. Public schools are rejecting students too. Just like private schools (that are heavily regulated and forced to take anyone using a voucher), public schools also reject students.

@adamih96 Thanks. That was the main point I was trying to make -- others were saying the private schools were just purposely not accepting many students and thus only got the best students.

Did you not watch the video? Anyone can use their vouchers to any school. You cannot deny them. These private schools are still heavily regulated that way.

@Hfil66 so you make up sceneries and make up how private and public schools would react to each situation?

@KittenCritters of course they don’t measure tons of stuff in a short a video but the research discusses it. And on the part where OP is trying y to say that private schools are just turning down problematic schools, that appears to be false as a broad statement.

@Hfil66 "To say that the voucher is valid for any school does not mean the school cannot deny the student." Except they cannot deny the student. If a voucher is valid anywhere, then that 'free school' (private school) is not denying students based on whatever reasons you made up.

@MrMidjji so you’re saying that they cannot reject them and it’s a third party deciding where the students go?

@guilhermepontes2416 US is mix of both though the best universities are private (Ivy League, MIT, Stanford), there are lots of top notch public schools as well.

@MrMidjji Your comment doesn't make sense to me where you said " The schools also always carefully manage their capacity numbers which are generally at 99%. If a private school would need to accept a bad student, sorry this year we are doing 29 students per class instead of 30." This seems like it wouldn't really have much impact overall. Are they changing their capacity each day? I f not, then I don't see how this would have much impact. And do you mean with " they are assigned to capacity by distance by a third party.". It appears you are saying that a 3rd party assigns the capacity but you also said the private school changes the capacity.

@MrMidjji thanks for the reply. This is more complicated than I can understand since it’s very different than the system I’m use to
