I’m shocked that it’s this man’s contention that government run education is good or better than privately handled education. Neither my personal experience nor the data I continue to see supports this notion. I’m open to data that opposes my position.,(reply>), Shows how completely and utterly out of touch some of these elite intellectuals are. I would agree with you. Public school is an absolute failure for the majority of people, but heres the thing. What you and I call failure, some of these people could be viewing as a success. For ex. indoctrination towards certain political belief, and learning how to be a good rule follower and employee. I view both of those things as some of the worst things you can do to a person, while he may view them as great and worthwhile things to have happen.,(reply>), Private schooling is great if you have the resources to go to top-tier private schools, but if you look at any private institution of learning geared toward "average" people they're almost always a straight up scam I.E. not fully accredited or more expensive than a comparable public option.
