I attended a catholic school in second grade... does that count? Beyond
that, nope, all public schools.

Right, so let's never criticize schools because there are other broken
things in society. Great argument!

> How about mentioning one positive concept?

Because I'm presenting a one-sided attack on public schools, and you're
presenting a well-reasoned defense of said schools. My attack mentioning
positive concepts wouldn't be an attack!

So your argument here is these people would have been moronic reprobates had
they not attended public schools? That somehow public schools saved them
from a lifetime of crime and welfare addiction, turning them into productive
members of society?

I don't get your point. Is there a point?
