Merrylander, free public education is in the dock on trial for it's life. After all the puts and takes, the main reason is that large urban districts are producing awful results.

But the main reason is that those districts are serving a population that, as a generalization, does not value education. Alternative schools have turned in much better results, sometimes, mainly by skimming out a subset of the kids who have families that DO value education.

Your one room school taught EVERYONE to read, including the really dumb ones, but it served a population that valued education, expected that result, and would have fired a teacher who didn't deliver.

Do you see any likely way, all things considered, to deliver such results in a modern large urban district?
