Puffy. You're young. Aside from the fact that you're intelligent, well-rounded (no, not that way!), a fine mother and guardian, don't you see that you're a product of the public school system you so vehemently dislike?
Why do you think the public schools are damaged, have bloated budgets, underpaid staffing, lack of resources, overcrowded, and are dangerous? It's not the fault of the schools, it's the fault of the bureaucrats and political cronies appointed and elected at the state level who are more concerned with the bottom line than an education. It's the fault of these same people taking the emphasis of education away from the child and into performance, performance, performance! It's the fault of these same people who promise lottery money and pull financial magic taking it right away, it's the fault of these same people who disrespect our teachers whose one goal is to teach!
You know, you're half way there.
