As someone a bit removed from current school systems I have one question. Do they still have shop class anymore?
Once again, the only qualm I have with what I perceive of the current setup is that I don't want my tax (state, local, and federal) dollars to fund The First Church of Whatever, or Hoity Toity Private School For People who think their superior? I want my money to go exclusively to the "We will cater to anyone" public school system.
And yes you may have a choice, but if you prefer an upgrade it comes out of your pocket not mine.
