Spokane228Private schools seem to have a better grip on things.
I went to a Catholic all boys high school. I was bullied for sure, but I could also move freely between all the social groups (burnouts, geeks, jocks, even theatre folks). There seems to be much less social pressure in a single sex environment.
Of course we also had a Dean who would have no issue bouncing you off a locker if you needed an attitude adjustment. An early lesson in “actions have consequences”.

JALLENAll this and more besides.
What if we closed the public schools, in favor of private organizations set up to offer educational programs that parents can chose between. Not everyone is a Rhodes Scholar candidate, or wants to be. Not everyone has the natural mechanical ability to be a repairman, or plumber, or carpenter.
Closing the schools would be a very good opportunity to weed out incompetent, lazy unqualified teachers, put the valuable properties on the market, and onto the tax Rolls, and eliminate a very great many layers upon layers of “administration.”
Give the parents the amount which would have otherwise have been spent, per student. Gradually ween that back, lowering taxes over time.
