Public Schools are horrific squanderings of societal wealth and innumerable years of cognition.

They socialize children into diets that bring on pre-diabetes and diabetes.

It's absolute quackery to say that the massive resources spent have anything near a positive return for most kids.

Schools are for the benefit of administrators and unionized teachers imo.

Schools are for the benefit of parents.

Schools are for the benefit of of people who rarely have anything invested in the growth of any one student.

It's robbing taxpayers, demanding draconian control of kids, both physically and legally. The money that is funneled into "teaching" kids is obscene. Instead of smaller scale private schools, we have black holes of mismanagement that we call public schooling.

And it's for the benefit of people in the ponzi scheme in charge of students. I can't imagine children learning any notable skills.

Think of how it utterly fails black communities. Instead of sex segregated them, and destroying the rationale for petty histrionic behavior, you put teens together and enable peacocking behaviors which destroys classroom ambiance.

Imagine how stupid you have to be to say "public schools are for the benefit of the children" when rich people use private schools as a way to cement social immobility.

It's beyond the pale how many wasted moments exist in the graveyard of bureacratically run education.
