I think if we just get rid of the department of education, then US public schools would be better off.Here's a question I pose to people who want to get rid of public schools: If private schools are so good and a free market would equal better education, why doesn't everyone enroll their kids in private over public schools? Too expensive? Doesn't the free market theory state that privatized companies would find a way to compete for everyone's business; therefore lowering prices?

I think the point being made is through competition, there will be an emphasis on the schools to provide the best possible education. I support this what I don't support is the unashamed facism of public private partnerships.
I also just want to stress the fact that our current education system is completely fucked for the most part as well.
Honestly, is High School really that hard? It's a fucking piece of cake if you just respect your teachers (By respect I mean not get loud with them and disrupt what they're trying to teach you) and if you just do the easy ass work they assign. Blacks and Latinos struggle so much, at least here in Cali, because they always want to start shit with their teachers and act defiant when they don't need to. Sure there are some teachers that are just straight up dicks, but you can't deny you can still pass the class if you just mind your own business and do your work. And plus most teachers are teachers because they love to teach, remember they don't get paid that much. So obviously they are teaching for a reason..
