> The problem is that the public education sector has been - for years - continuously squeezed dry of any funding. Lack of funding isn't always the problem. As jawns mentioned, there's a lot of reasons to remove your kids from public school. > I have two kids, would consider myself very well educated (have a PhD, etc), and I habe absolutely 0 confidence in myself schooling my kids. Interesting. I'm surprised you feel this way while acknowledging that most educated teachers "aren't really good at it". Perhaps you aren't qualified to teach your kids, and that's okay. At least you have the self-awareness to know they need help from someone else. > public schooling is obviously an attempt at leveling the playing field between children from different backgrounds. Yep. But it can also stifle the growth of overachievers.
