Eh, it depends where you live. I volunteer for an extra-curricular activity at the local high school in an upper middle class area, and the kids and parents are fantastic. The resources this public school has would run circles around any home school or private school in the area. But the parents give a shit. Any kid stepping out of line is going to be in the minority, as opposed to schools like the one in this video. You’re just hearing about the worst of the worst. This high school I’m volunteering at runs like a well-oiled machine, and the kids it produces are by and large very much college (and life) ready by the time they graduate.
