As long as you don't care about the kids, their families, or the impact to society when those kids get older.
Why are the parents not responsible here?

I think we need intensive, remedial schools for kids who are far behind, and structured, therapeutic schools for violent, chronically disruptive, or sociopathic students. Pretending that college is for everyone is just ridiculous.
I’m 100% a progressive Democrat and supporter of public schools, but also an experienced educator and pragmatist.

What does getting bad even mean?
I generally do not have high expectations for public schools but have high expectations or my kids. There are things I hear about school I am not a fan of, like the pace of learning, and use of Chromebooks, but my kids are doing fine and I don't feel like "schools are getting bad". It is about as expected.
