If by works the way it's supposed to you mean grants you some meager concessions to make you think you're not subordinate to the state, then yeah.
Homeschool your daughter if you can, man. At the very least, be discerning about a private school based on curriculum and mission statement. Public schools are indoctrination cesspools.
Yeah it's a major concern for us, and it's something we've considered. I really don't want to have to deprogram my daughter every time she gets home from school.
