Good public school definition

Well... my wife would have to be the teacher.
My wife would choose the curriculum.
No other children but my own could attend, and the classes would have to be held at my house with no government intervention.

As long as there was no government intervention I would have no problems with it but by definition, isn't that what a public school is? Take out the government and you have private schools. So I guess there would be nothing a public school could ever have that would cause me to change my mind about sending my kids there.
Sounds good to me, Knight. I give my daughter the choice of homeschooling and public school now. Her choices would be: 1. Quit calling her stupid (the teachers not the students). 2. Not give her detention if she has one late paper. 3. Give more than 15 minutes for lunch. 4. Not charge for the privilege of borrowing school books. 5. Teach kids at their own level instead of making the smart kids have to wait for the slower kids to finish. 6. More time for PE, Music, Art, and Computer classes.
Can you tell that these came from a thirteen year old?
My requirements would be much better classes for the gifted children, no liberally biased teachers, and no sensitivity training for students (this is usually teaching acceptance of homosexuality and other things I disagree with). I would also want no sex education in school (i.e. Telling about abortion, handing out condoms because they're going to do it anyway). It's my job to teach my daughter about sex not the government's.

Absolutely nothing. I went to 'good' public schools, and they weren't all that good then. I think the damage is irreparable at this point.

And there is ZERO chance of any of that happening.

Move to the Shadowbriar neighborhood in Houston, Texas, and get your children into G/T classes, then. Great schools, high parent participation, first-class teachers and all those crazy kids! It's quite nice.:thumb:
You've got that right in about 99.9% of the public schools in this country, Knight.
