I went to a rural public school but was lucky enough to have teachers who were there out of a love for teaching. It made a big difference.

I was lucky enough to have been taught by dedicated teachers from 1st through 12th grades. Sisters of St. Joseph in elementary school and Marist Brothers in high school. There was no agenda, other than a spiritual one, that I remember. It was the ABC's and 1+1=2 type of an education. It was the early 50's and 60's, before the progressive policies had had a chance to take full hold of the educational system. They still read the bible in public schools back then. Sadly, not so today.
