I have a very close friend who teaches in public schools. And I babysat for a substitute teacher's children for a few years. There is a difference between assessing individual teachers and assessing the entire educational package. When you hear people criticize, please remember it is not personal about your specific family members. It is a big picture perspective, and it should matter to any repectable school official that so many people find public schools unacceptable. The fact that they tend to just insult us instead of do anything about it proves that they really only care about their own agenda.

I'm not sacrificing my child future and values to satisfy the ego of even an excellent teacher, who still has to obey a hopelessly flawed system. Yes, I think you COULD call that "my own agenda"
