I'm sick of public school bashing for the sake of it.

Compulsory, government schooling is inherently wrong. Education is the responsibility of the parent, not the government.

Any individual school MAY be fine, but the system itself is ripe for corruption and for uses OTHER than educating children. That is why many thinking people reject the concept of it.

It's not "for the sake of it" that most people "bash" it.

Absolutely..........and fortunately as parents we have choices as to where to acquire that education for our children.

Some of us choose to utilize the pubic school system and supplement it at home, others choose private or homeschooling. It is a matter of what works best for those involved.

Couldn't agree more.....although I would add the word critically "thinking people reject........"

FWIW-
