Dija notice that Kozel talks about the wonderful teaching being done in East St Louis by good teachers, and the lousy education the kids are getting at a rich school in Rye, New York? Kinda negates his point, doesn't it?


Looks like we read a different book, Bill.

As for the problem being public schools, it's not. I would expect that a great deal of suburban real estate is sold on the quality of the public schools in the town. Most of the college kids I taught came from suburban public schools. They are definitely well prepared. I can make arguments as to what they lack, history being one thing; but I wouldn't make the argument, based on my experience, that "public schools" have failed.

I think the argument behind that argument is to get rid of public schools.
