It's easy to pick out the worst public school. It's the ones where the parents get into hysterics if their kids are without cellphones at all time in class. Seriously, like all this has come as a BIG surprise. Where the city council members and parents make it their utmost education priority to allow their idiot rugrats to carry their cellphones onto schools you're inevitably bound produce idiot adults that can't read or write. Who knew.

It's easy to pick a good Public school. Just pick the one with the least amount of blacks and hispanics in it.

I suppose it all depends on where you live. Even private schools don't guarantee a "Quality" Education.

As my family begins evaluating the whole "public or private school?" issue for our young children, this is most discouraging (although not all that surprising). And it underscores why private schools have become such a cottage industry -- "Please, sir, my I have the honor of turning my life upside down to pay you $30,000 to educate my child?"
