>There's no such thing as a government-run school, at least not in the U.S. U.S. public schools are community-run. The local community sets the funding level, the local community provides the facilities, etc.
That's a disingenuous slight of hand when (as you admit) the curriculums are set at the sate level.
Being locally funded or managed means squat when the hours in the school year are limited and you have to teach to someone else's priorities.

That claim is a hell of a lot stronger than the one where the organizations run by municipal government employees executing on a state developed plan isn't a government run organization. Are you going to tell us that USPS isn't government run because it's a privately chartered corporation that just to happens to be owned by the government and happens to have its product offerings highly regulated by government? Public schools are government run for all practical purposes. Just not directly run on a day to day basis by the feds or state.
