I went to a small catholic school that my parents paid for since they did not want me shipped to other party of the city in a horrible nabe so that the city scumbags could meet their "diversity" quotas. The NYC public school system was a complete disaster back then. Typical far left failures all around.
My friends who did go to the public schools told me of unspeakable behavior by the little animals who would have been better off in the bronx zoo in a cage than having tax dollars pissed away on them.
Do you want me to start with the ones who pissed on cop cars or the ones who attacked the teachers with scissors? Or how about the 12 y/o showing up prego?
or we can talk about the one who created the westcoast offense, like Bill Walsh who is a product of public school
