> I went to a public school. I enjoyed myself there. I believe it taught me some things.

My mom switched me from public to private school in elementary school. Without a doubt the quality of the private schools' facilities, teachers, staff, and education were much better then the public school. I ended being held back in the 3rd grade simply because I was so far behind my other classmates in terms of knowledge that was not stressed at the public school. Yes, private school can be expensive, but if you have the resources and can find a good school with a track record of success, I highly recommend enrolling your kids in a private school.

Come to a Scandinavian public school. Then you'll see working public schools. Evidently, this has nothing to do with publicness or privateness, but rather a culture. The big question is: in what direction should we push the society?
