@johnpowell I would be willing to bet more than you. I am so tired of hearing people say that we should get rid of public education. Yesterday, when I had this conversation again with someone I thought to myself, I am willing to entertain the idea if it has been shown in history to work. So this is my shot at seeing if anyone is aware of such a circumstance. The next time a right wing republican tells me in the same conversation, “look throughout history socialism and communism don’t work,” and then launches into, “better to have just private schools,” I will launch into, that has never worked in history.
@davidk Are you saying that even if public schools worked in the past, that they will not work in the future? Or, are you just saying schools in general in the US are not keeping up with the needs of the future?
