Yes, it's just irritating to see the government forcing it's own monopoly on things , and then providing horrible service.
If you have a bad private school, you can sue them to hell for treating your kids badly. Meanwhile if you have a pedophile teacher in a public school, the school might actually cover up for him.
I am not joking, there were literally cases where the school covered up pedophilia incidents for some sick minded teachers.
Thats how much the government "protects the children".
Totally agree. The education quality of US is deteriorating due to the prevalent monopoly public school system. No matter how much fund the system gets, it can't improve its quality dramatically. The infrastructure can get refurbished, not the soul of it.
