Yes. Very much so, my sibling and I went to private school which we both held in low esteem, and I in absolute contempt for the mind prison that they are. They would then send their kids to charter schools to 'get ahead' and they even ended up teaching there, only to send their children to the same horrible HS I went to. And they knew I had started skipping class to go to University lectures by Junior year because of how bad it had gotten.
This is a person I had countless conversations with about how much a determent formal schooling is to actual problem solving to Society's most pressing issues, as she wanted to teach but wasn't sure if University level made sense, and about how Society could benefit from a smaller private specialized tutor system for specific subjects.
We also did our respective undergrads at the same university for a semester and we both realized how absurd it was even during the 'good times' in the bubble era how many people didn't get a job that had anything to do with their degree. Something that was always just brushed under the 'you will make more money with a degree' chart.
