I am grieved to see uninformed people casually discussing the merits of tossing aside a system of public school education that has been the envy of the world. I work closely with hundreds of public school teachers and assure you they are working at unsustainable levels to comply with senseless, draconian mandates issued by people who know nothing about the developmental needs of children, nothing about teaching in challenging settings, and nothing about creating the conditions necessary for learning. But since everyone has been to school, they feel entitled to weigh in on the matter, even if they have not stepped foot inside a school for many years.
