Have you any proof that they left out private schools... I presume this being UNICEF it was a cross sample....

I looked up the methodology to the cited WHO report but couldn't find how it was specifically applied in the US.

This question was actually asked a couple of times while we shopped for school... not necessarily, of course, about the WHO survey but about government testing requirements. Other than mandatory "skills tests" applied to all US students, we were told there is nothing that would require any private school to participate in a general survey about children, nor require the children to take them.
