I’m not sure what you are claiming is not true at all, but I have no doubt it exists in the district where the writer lives.

I live on the Eastern Shore, not southern VA, but we are far different here from NoVA, although there is much influence from there.

Your statement:the haters of public schools on this forum believe there is no such thing as a good public school system and those of us with children in them or who teach in them are nothing less than child abusers. That is what I meant by not true at all. Us haters of public schools realize that there are indeed pockets of good public schools, but they are the exception rather than the norm.
