How is this my problem? (Score 1)

Why the hell should I care if public schools are rotting? I should care about giving my kids the best education and social nurturing possible. I can't fix what's horribly broken on a national level. And I'm certainly not going to screw away my time and my kids' well-being so that some other people can feel better about their broken system. Doesn't make sense. If this article presents a valid argument, then by simple logic it's equally valid to argue that people who militate against private schooling are horrible because they are preventing a better system of education from developing to its potential. FYI, my kids attend a very private school at home, and we are constantly told how intelligent and well behaved they are. And they are. I couldn't give that to them if I sent them to a public school, period. I love my kids too much to sacrifice them for someone's sick experiment.
