Okay, this is utter crap.. there are plenty of private schools that do *WAY*
better then public schools... for that matter colleges are jointly funded, 
public and private, and compete very well... people tend to care more when 
it's their money on the table... that aside, I think it is a civic 
responsibility to have public education.  That doesn't mean it needs to be 
controlled by a bureaucracy.
