You could not pay me to put a child in public school. People need to be able to send their children to the school of their choice and schools need to get back to basics. Better yet school them yourselves, they would stand a better chance.
You are too harsh. I’ve got three kids late 20s to 30. They each have a lot of friends we’ve been close to for years. All wonderful, accomplished, responsible, law-abiding people in all walks of life. Many have young families now.
Maybe this cohort doesn’t count as “kids” anymore, but I really like what I see.
