I went to private girls’ school my entire secondary education in L.A. While it was far from perfect, I feel better educated than most adults who graduated from the L.A. public schools. The stupidest (I should say least-educated) people I know have public high school and often university degrees.
Home-schooling is the next best choice to good but expensive private schools and my hat’s off to parents who can do it. Not only do kids end up with a well-rounded education and are encouraged to have fertile and curious minds, but (unlike with private schools) there is likely to be less or no liberal p.c. claptrap bias nonsense taught in a home-schooling environment. (I didn’t escape my private school lefty dogma for decades.)
No child of mine would ever go to a public school, period. It’s one of the many things government has no business doing, and does very poorly (with some advanced ed exceptions).
