Now, the fact that that very quality has been plummeting year after year is a whole new discussion topic.

* Before anyone springs that "no one is above the law" crap, I'd just like to say that people that make the law, even if only that particular law is concerned, are obviously above it.
Everyone has a right to be educated. I'm not saying they don't. But they shouldn't be educated by the government. The institution of public schools was a bad idea from the start. The "idea" is that the poor people can go to school. If that is so, I think non-profit, donor-funded schools would be a better idea.
