Only in your utopia do things work "as they should".

Private, for-profit schools and religious nuts teaching Noah's Ark as "history" ruin the fundamental tenants of public schooling: that everyone, regardless of socioeconomic background gets what everyone else gets.

Without maintaining that premise and spending equally per pupil, then it's the haves vs. the havenots.

Public school teachers get paid peanuts. My step sister is involved with special ed and is on food stamps.

I'm sorry, but your opinion is worse than invalid, it's dangerously ignorant.
