Nobody cares what McDonald's crew members are making, how much education they have, whether they're trained to recycle, how many assistant managers work at lunchtime, etc. Those are entirely private affairs. But the public education system is completely *political*. The smallest details are subject to endless debate. Social engineering goals like co-ed gym and diversity become sacraments. Every possible constituency has a say except the one for academic excellence. And it's only going to get worse. In 10 years we'll still be having the same debates, the same poor results, the same high costs, the same trendy curricula. And the public education supporters -- especially those who make money off the system -- will still be talking about saving it. Meanwhile, my homeschooled kids will be outcompeting 98% of the public school graduates in everything except sociopathic behavior.
