On public education. I graduated, a decade ago. I also spent my formative years in private schools. Once year in private high school I had half, count them, half my high school courses needed to graduate. I then spent three years in public high school. My claim to fame? I averaged 6 books a week in the back of the classroom and still aced everything while often knowing more than the ****ing teachers did about the subjects especially history. The summer break isn't the issue, it is the dumb down of the populace. **** public education. Do away with the indoctrinational bullshit, and let the private sector and home school pick up the slack. You will likely in the long run end up with a better educated populace, or if not that, thin the herd dramatically in a few generations. Either way, I don't care what the public sector does, my children will never spend their formative years in the public system. And if they do, I fully expect to give a few principles strokes.
