I don't see how sending a child to public school is irresponsible? For every case in which a private school has done a good job, there is likely a case in which it hasn't done so. I went to a private school for the first three years of my schooling, after which I transferred to the public school system. I am very grateful that I didn't stay in that private school. Practically every person I knew that went there ended up a failure. Where as I ended up finishing high school, moving on to college, graduating, and getting a pretty nice job. Just because a child goes to private school doesn't ensure they will be an academic success. I also don't see how wanting a government agency to watch over the institution of public schools to ensure they are doing their job is irresponsible? Of course this assumes that said government agency is doing their job correctly, which, under this administration, its arguably not. However, just because the DoE is currently broken, doesn't mean it can't be fixed to allow for it to do it's job as it was intended. Also, I don't mind people challenging my views on topics such as this, but please do so in a respectful manner. Was there any need to call me a 'jackass' simply because I happen to disagree with you views on the subject?
