[quote=Anonymous]In the US, public school is meant to educate the masses in a CERTAIN JURISDICTION. We don't have a centralized public school system at the national level in the US, or even at the state level exactly. If your jurisdiction happens to be a tony suburb of a big US city, or a city where test-in magnet programs have been strong for generations (unlike in the District), a school system might be aiming for the stars. If you look at list of the highest-performing 500 government schools, the ones sending the most graduates to top universities, in the UK, almost all of them are private schools. Here in the US, the top 500 are mostly government/public schools. This Boston Latin graduate thinks you're painting with much too broad a brush, PP above. [/quote]
