  Don’t know where you live or what you refer to. Public schools where I live are paid through (very high) property taxes, anyone who wants to put their kids through private school needs to pay that tuition on top of what they’re paying in property taxes, essentially paying twice for schooling. Maybe it’s different where you live?

  Spend time on the teachers subreddit. It's not so much money that's the primary problem. It's poor parenting, inability of teachers or administrators to actually implement any sort of punishment or discipline that a student would care about, and cultural decline.

    This is the real answer and no one really wants to talk about it because solving it is easily one of the greatest challenges of our time. It is very hard for most to take ownership of the fact that their child is a misbehaved little shit because they were raised from birth on iPad, YouTube and Fortnite instead of more enriching activities. Virtually everyone has a burned out dopamine loop at this point and it's impossible to get kids excited about education anymore. You want to talk about drug problems, this one is easily the worst.

    No. It's the robbery of resources from public education. Nice try, though!

      Would you please stop posting flamewar comments? You've been doing it repeatedly lately, and we've had to ask you this kind of thing multiple times in the past, going back years. That's really not cool. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful. Maybe you don't owe the pilferers of public resources better, but you definitely owe this community better if you're participating in it.
