Reply #118: Nobody has ever suggested ending public education,

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

But there is nothing wrong with a parent electing not to send their child to a public school that happens to be horrible.

The teachers I know who quit teaching in public schools left because they were sick of being confronted daily by students who were hardened criminals or had a belligerent refusal to learn and parents who were completely indifferent to those issues. Their teachers not police, parole officers or prison guards.
