I agree.

People who value an education will get one anyway. Those who don’t won’t no matter how many hours per day and how many days per year they are forced to spend in public schools.

Students get an education in spite of public schools, not because of them.

Parental involvement is so critical that the best demonstration of the success/failure of public education is to look at those children whose parents are not involved in their education, and at that point, the abysmal failure of the public education establishment becomes blindingly obvious.
