The only reason to support public education would be to show your approval of the teacher’s union,”teaching to the test”, and lowering standards in order to graduate more uneducated students. No child left behind…. because the government school system keeps most of them from getting too far ahead. They need to raise the bar instead of pumping out hoards of uneducated kids who aren’t equipped with the necessary skills to to become productive members of society.
