Private schools intentionally screw some of their children over for a lifetime, but you never read about those, except in abstract statistics like the school-to-prison pipeline, a model which I believe was essentially imported from the private schools. It's essentially the expulsion model.

What likely led to the perception was carefully constructed PR campaigns of silence in regards to "negativity."
