@ the "Marxist" whatever crap she claims ...
You love it cos you want to cut school costs and by extension taxes ...
The problem is the opposite. However I agree with her on 1 thing - I cant find ti now, but somewhere she said something like "we let kids study what they like, and not what they need to so as to make sense of the world." - I interpret that as they study english and art and crap like that, and avoid physics and math ...
The third world has a completely merit based, heavily subsidized education system. No way the american system will compete ...
Her reasons are 100% wrong.
I would have had 100K in debt, and still be paying it off if I was to get the same education in the US. That is the problem, my education was subsidized by the indian govt ... and in your eyes now I have become a marxist, so you would say she is right ...
However that would be an anvil round my neck I would never have been able to swim away with.
Cool.
