[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lets face it, public education in the state of NC is crap.  I taught there and I know.  If the university has to accept 80% of its applicants from in state the school cannot be that great.  The OOS students help boost the averages, the in state students would be attending Radford if they were in VA[/quote]

This is something I always wondered about. I have never lived in NC but just had friend that had moved there. I have been told that the k-12 education has always been lacking yet they have always had a great reputation with the university. How does this work. The kids are not taught well until college?  I know states like Massachusetts have great k-12 education. The state university(U Mass) does not do as well because it competes for talent with all the private universities. States like Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, seem to have both strong k-12 and public universities. I just don't see how UNC has such a great university but not so at k-12.[/quote]
