Elite? Hardly. I’m of modest means and due to my observation that my public schools were turning into a woke train wreck, I pulled my kids out and homeschooled them. It was only then that I realized how horrible our education system has become. Add public education (with particular loathing of teachers unions) to the list of rotten edifices that need to be razed in the US. We can do *a lot* better.
