I think it’s a fair criticism. The fact that we fund schools based on property taxes disadvantages those students who need the most help. Schools in cities tend towards bad. Schools in rich suburbs tend to be excellent. I went to college with a guy who attended a prestigious private school. He was an indifferent student there and still knew more than me on most subjects. I was left with the impression that public school in the US overall, as a system is a joke even though I went through a pretty privileged one.
