That was my choice and I paid for it.

Voluntarily.

But I also paid for public schools in my town.

At gunpoint.

Should one system be the basis for their education? I dont believe it should.

I agree. That's why government schools should be abolished. Let We the People form, and voluntarily pay for, the sort of education WE want for our children.

My school is run from my town.

I live in MA and you would think the schools would be a liberal mess. Our town has a very involved school committe and parent base. They have managed to keep 99% of the silliness out of the system. There were no rainbow flags flying in our schools for example.

I understand this is not the case everywhere. I pay the highest tax rate in the state and a lot of that money goes to our schools. But, our outcomes rank up there with the best private schools. That is what our parents (upper middle class, lots of doctors and lawyers and Corporate Managers) expect.

While I disagree with your premise, I can understand why you might feel that way. Schools and education should be local. In my case it is. I know that is not always the same across the country.
