I don’t know much about the NYC schools- farthest east I have ever been was St Joe MO. and that was when I was 4.
However both of my kids have attended private schools, my oldest has never attended a public school.
I don’t see people judging- people are citing their experiences.

My experience is that in public schools, it is true a staff member may be acting inappropriately for years in teh schools, long before any scandal breaks.
But that is not to say it doesn’t happen in private school, you might just not have heard about it. For example in my daughters private school, which is one of the best in teh city, she had two friends, both who left the school after a couple years because of the way that their parents felt the school handled two disturbing incidents, one racially based and one sexually based. I only heard about the incidents because as I said she was friends with the girls, no one else heard about it, and we didn’t have that experience so she stayed put.
Not to say that it couldn’t have happened there to her, or anywhere else.

* Let’s say your local elementary public school was involved in a scandal where a teacher molested a little girl. You dont want your kids to go there but cant sent them to another public school because of the zone problem what will you do? Seek a private high school.*
