Why do I think it wasn’t necessarily better? Many of the great masters, teachers, became politicians themselves. At heart that’s just as rotten. Burbach while much younger the democracy was definitely more mature.
Question: despite living in the country with currently the best educational, and least syllabus program based, system... will you homeschool your daughter in order to free her of those negatives imposed by politicians and lobbyists?
