In the real world, the term "first rate" and "public school" rarely go together anymore, and that is the fault of the teachers unions and education establishment. What public schools were decades ago is gone with the wind and will never come back. School choice is as important as quality, and competition will make education better.

Every dire warning issued by the climate alarmists that has passed the date by which it was supposed to have happened has not happened or even come close. These Chicken Littles are batting ZERO on their predictions. What person in their right mind would believe a word they spout? There are plenty of common sense scientists who say they are full of bull.

Big Bob: Do you think local teachers are substandard?

What have you got against local teachers being competent enough to compete in the evolving market of educating this American public?

The private sector does darn near anything better than government, and that includes education. Private schools, on average, spend less per pupil than public schools but achieve much better education results. Those opportunities should be there for all students, not just children of the rich. The teachers union and much of the education establishment is injecting political indoctrination into public schools. A poll last year in North Carolina found that 71% of North Carolina parents are concerned about political indoctrination in the public schools. Competition makes everything better and that includes schools.
