[quote=Anonymous]This author is advocating a socialist communist hybrid of education (of which I am familiar because I come from a country where both of these parties have controlled). the sacrificing of the those with means, to benefit those without, to ultimately achieve a utopian goal of uniform equality, regardless of whether it takes 5 or 500 years.  I think we can all agree that this would never work in the US, this is a capitalist, free choice society.  The closest thing that exists to this structure is in Finland, but it is so different culturally, socioeconomically, tax structure, etc.

I do not take this author seriously whatsoever, the essay is poorly written and IMHO meant only to shock and awe, because there is no such thing as bad publicity,  right? I am not surprised, since the author freely admits she did horribly in school because she went to such bad ones, but it also seems like she was lazy and her parents were not very involved (who allows their child to only read 1 book in high school, for example, without demanding more for their son/daughter). She also seems to have no idea how public schools are funded, for what state property taxes are, how private schools are funded, how public schools are governed, how unions work, etc.  The author has done no research, my 5 year old has a better thought process and more convincing argument structure.
