At this point I wouldn't trust my child in a public school if I could even have one. My time there was horrible and it's only gotten worse for everyone I've known younger than me.

It's like being in a prison, check points and metal detectors, everything you do or say as a student is scrutinized and you learn nothing but how to be a good little nationalist.

I said it over a decade ago and I still believe it now, our schools need to be reformed in their entirety. I learned more from meeting someone in college that valued knowledge than I believed ever mattered in grade school.

And when I started to meet people from abroad I was aghast that university existed, and they likewise that I never attended one.
