- Well, to be fair, I recently graduated from a public school, and I feel that
- I haven't been at all disadvanteged. True, the curruculum was kind of
- sophomoric, but I came to the conclusion that most of the students did not want
- to learn--my teachers where mostly excellent, dedicated people who tried hard,
- but it was all they could do to get the students to do the work, and learn
- the easy stuff they where teaching. Quite frankly, 90% of the students couldn't
- give a stuff when the earth was created, all the wanted was to make a lot of
- money.
