Talk:Public schools in the United States (view source)
Revision as of 02:49, March 28, 2011
, 02:49, March 28, 2011→30% of public schools fail to graduate from high school?: the schools teach and train the students. That's what the schools are paid to do, at astronomical costs.
I found a rather major and embarrassing error in the opening lines. The list of statistics are said to be "characteristics of public schools" when they are in fact describing their students. I edited the heading sentence before the list to reflect this, but my edits were reversed, because "the public schools create the students." I agree that we do need to find a way to emphasize this, but the error still needs removal. Any suggestions on how to accomplish both goals while keeping everyone happy?

:Jim, the schools teach and train the students. That's what the schools are paid to do, at astronomical costs. When someone refers to "public schools," it does not mean merely the bricks in the buildings.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:49, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
