Maybe it is a regional thing. I live in a rural area of Kentucky. Yes, we have some problems with public schools, but for the most part I have not seen them overreach too far here.

Maybe that gives me a skewed opinion.

in many parts of TX, the schools are ceasing to be part of the English speaking world. That and the teachers are required to teach the state tests and not the subjects.
