Horsefeathers, nobody has to attend these schools. Lazy parents find it easier to send their children to them. They can put their kids in catholic school, they can start charter schools, they can home school. Nobody needs to put up with the appalling crap that is the unionized public school system. Grok already, the entire institution is an utter failure and deserves to be completely abandoned. On both sides of the desk.

They can put their kids in catholic school, they can start charter schools, they can home school.

With what time, money, and intellectual capacity? Half of these kids have crack addicts for parents. These kids do NOT have any other choice but to go to public school.
