While I hear you, I also know of many excellent public schools, and wonderful individuals who dedicated their lives to being the teachers in those schools. (Sadly more in the past than today!) Public education created the generation that fought back against Government in the Civil Rights movement, the women's rights movement, the environmental movement, and the Vietnam era. Back then we knew not to trust Government. Our required reading included Machievelli and 1984! And you had to take subjects outside your major because being "educated" meant more than technical expertise...it meant History, Biology, Psychology, Literature, etc. A basic college level biology class in the early 1980s would have enough background to make you question the injections!, a history class the mask madness, and a decent current events class from the Vietnam era would have made you fight the lockdowns as well. America needs good public schools. I would start looking at other nations, our own history, and the times that produced the world's greatest minds. Enrichment is the goal, opening up minds to the real wonders and possibilities that surround us every second. Also despite technology, there is really nothing new under the sun. Good public education has always been the BEST thing any nation or civilization could give to it's citizens. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater has always been a mistake..
