What do you mean by this?

If you haven't seen the institutionalized classism and racism that goes on in public schools, you are not looking close enough.

I've dealt with public schools for 10 years and I've seen a lot of it. And yes, the teachers/faculty perpetuate it.

That's not to say, that there are not good teachers, because there are. Some are very dedicated and understand that many parents cannot afford to help out at the school, they are too busy working and trying to survive.
