I'm sure that's true, and that's why my wife tells me not to rock the boat. But there is a collective action problem here. If no parent is willing to publicly criticize the schools, even when justified, the schools have little reason to change. They can tell themselves they are doing a great job and that parents are happy.

Oh, believe me, I'm speaking from experience. I've gone all scorched earth for that reason more than once, ecause I tend to hold the same philosophy as you. But I do think you have to be aware of the consequences beforehand and decide accordingly.
