You'll probably have to learn to accept it, unfortunately. She can force you to go to whatever school she wants, no matter how much you might hate it. You can tell her your preferences (if you do, then you probably want to do it respectfully) but you can't really do much else. She can't however force you to believe something you don't. Do your best in school, and when you turn eighteen find a way to get out.
Not really. They're neither paid better, nor are they better at their craft by and large. In fact far fewer private school teachers have masters degrees compared to public school teachers. The idea that private schools do better is one that's popular, but there's many contributing factors to how well someone does in school. Including parental involvement, which is the biggest advantage that a private school has. Of course another advantage private schools have in their arsenal is the fact that they can kick students out for any reason they wish. While public schools are forced to teach everyone, including the private school cast-outs. Expulsion from a public school is far more difficult.
As a public school teacher myself, I'm well aware of the challenges public school teachers face when it comes to students. Class sizes are larger and parents tend to be less involved. But I don't think that by any means makes private school teachers any better. In fact as a parent I would never send my child to a private school. I think public schools deserve more credit than they often get. Perhaps I'm just biased. I think that while we do need to continue improving our education system (this will always be true btw), I don't think it's nearly as bad as people paint it out to be.
I'm not a fan of private schools. I understand why people may want to send their children there. I don't agree, however. And I think our public school teachers are much better than most people are willing to give them credit for.

The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
