Every peer I believe to be a millionaire is self made and a graduate of public schools. Private school friends did well. But clearly the most successful were all public school graduates. That's not dreaming. That's hard reality.

As xoxoxoBruce notes: parents, parents .... 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management.

Remove hype from lying political extremists (ie George Jr), and facts remain - as even City College of NY demonstrated: public schools tend to outperform private schools. City College has a long list of Nobel Prize laureates and other famous American success stories. So now the rich or religious extremists want us to pay for their inferior schools. Sound exactly like the George Jr philosophy of enriching the rich at the expense of those who don't contribute to his campaign funds.
