Wow. Years ago I wrote a piece about the reality that the ONLY way to fix our public schools is the CLOSE all private schools. Here is the link!http://www.educationnews.org/education-policy-and-politics/miriam-k-freedman-one-radical-idea-to-fix-public-schools/
WOW. Where does this go? I’m not into labeling parents as this Slate headline does. But, we can’t ignore the reality that there is a large kernel of truth in the reality that if all people are not invested in our public schools they will not work. Schools can’t be just for other people’s children.
I worked in both public and private schools as a counselor. In my experience, the public school experience was the better value on every level.
