universal public education that is 100% free or just a public education system? it depends on what you are referring to, cuz a lot of places, especially asia, have a public education system that you still pay school fees to every semester/year that is unlike the free public education available in the US or other western countries

public education is terrible because its more of a daycare for your children than a pathway to learning or education, you realize there are public magnet schools out there with like 90% graduation rates and averaging top 5% SAT or ACT scores? you cannot achieve success in education when everyone goals from school or education dont mesh, or the commitment that people have dont align

so will americas.... 25% of harvard is asian, 6% of the US is asian. those students are contributing more the scientific and technological development in US than you realize, this is not counting other schools like stanford, rice, caltech etc.

public education is a waste, america already has specialized and advanced learning programs in place for children with ability. why would you waste money on a school where students dont actually have the ability or the desire to learn?

this just sounds like moderation leads to polarization
