Trust me, I see it the same way. In fact I whole heartedly agree. As taboo it is to say, US educators overall are not well educated. But when it comes to executing misguided and backward principals in our schools (like mandated testing) they do it well.

Privatization won't fix the core issue, but it might at least give a few students a chance at something other then public. I Personally would have given my major organs to attend a magnet school. Or at least anything that wasn't public.
