From what I’ve read in the news, public schools are so PC the kids are wrapped in Saran ... I read a few days ago where some kid was handing out cough drops and they suspended her for dealing drugs (!!!???) - no thank you ...
There are too many horror stories that have been in the news about public ‘institutions of learning’ .....
Don’t believe everything you read.
Our son will be graduating from a public school this summer and will be attending the Honors College at Michigan State University, and was offered the chance to study under a professor. Good grades and high scores can come out of both types of educations, if the student applies themselves.
That's because bad news sells and good stuff is immaterial.
There are lots of really bad public schools, no doubt or argument with that fact. However, there is also good in the public schools which rarely gets published and will NEVER be acknowledged by a certain contingent of public school haters.
I have a note here that came home today from my daughter's TaG (talented and gifted) teacher about her being invited to participate in a literature and vocabulary enrichment program. According to my daughter not every child in her TaG class received the note, and there are only 12 children in the TaG class.
What you read about public schools in the news is generally skewed against the public schools. Even the best of them is not perfect, but not all of them are the cesspools the anti-public school contingent wishes to project them as.
