The PRECIOUS public schools that MY CHILDREN attend would NEVER dream of doing something so mean. No, they listen to us parents. We see the teachers and the principal in church, in shops, everywhere. They are GOOD people and would NEVER hurt a child or put him through this. It’s only those OTHER SCHOOLS that are mean.

People sending their kids to government schools are more interested in their kids taking part in property tax subsidized games and clubs. Especially in the suburbs. If the kids learn a little math and English, that's just a bonus.
