I went to public schools. All were good, and my high school was
superb. My kid went to mostly public schools, which were excellent,
and a Catholic high school (we're not religious, it's just that those
Jesuits are good at whatever they do.)


I thought you guys had two daughters, you once mentioned the brat and the elder brat.


Since most people go to public school, and the US
economy/technology/science are doing fine, the schools can't be all
that bad.


Don't be so sure. I get around a bit, lots of companies. From what I observe in business the main technology pushes come from folks above 40 years old, to a very large extent. Many young grads can't even do a decent solder job. Us guys have to train them and they have the smarts alright, but that used to be different. In the 80's they just threw us into the water and we better swam. When I was hired for my first job they had a hard schedule when my stuff had to be done. They relied on me and many other fresh grads to handle all this on our own.
