[quote=Anonymous]Public schools are getting bad in most areas. There are some exceptions--notably elite suburbs with small-town governance in places like Pittsford, NY; Wilton, CT; etc. The factors driving this seem to be: (1) More kids with behavioral / learning issues; (2) teachers' unions (see Chicago's current debacle); (3) more families who simply don't care about academics; (4) over-focus on sports over all else, i.e. the only point of school is to make varsity; (5) self-de-selection of families and kids who care to privates; (6) lack of objective academic standards and passing everyone; (7) lack of enforcement of truancy rules; (8) focus on equity over excellence. Some of these are obviously overlapping, but public education is a disaster and it's not going to get better before it gets worse.[/quote]
