I went to both private and public schools growing up, and I realized that they have different goals. One taught me new and challenging subjects, taught me to ask questions and think for myself. The other taught me how to deal with bureaucracy, how to be in the right part of the building at the right time and how to discern new information from reams of repetition. Public schools won't get better, but they will go away. The internet has created a place where you can go to learn whatever you want. Eventually the high cost of homes and the subsequent high taxes will cause schools to be closed to reduce the tax burden when all of the unnecessary programs have already been cut. We'll all be homeschooling then. We'll have no choice.
