That statement fallls forsquare in the same category as not reading something and then passing judgement as to its contents -- not too brilliant.
I will honor your request and not post to you further on this subject assuming you don't respond.
In view or your having injected the following material as further "proof" of whatever it is you are trying to get across, I will respond: I grew up in a household with two public school teachers and I went to public school. So I know that our schools aren't horrible at all. I'm sure a lot of Freeper teachers know this too but stay away from these threads for fear of being attacked.
And, based on the fact two family members teach (taught) in public schools and you went to one that you judged 'good' means that every public school in in the country is 'good'???
The how come such a large percentage of high school graduates can't pass an eighth grade level test; can't find the United States on a globe; can't accurately tell in what century the Civil War took place; or, who is the Vice President of the United States. How many of them cam tell you on what date the 21st Century began? By the way, what date did you graduate from HS?
