Between college-teaching jobs and before I changed careers, I spent several years teaching high school art full time. I'm giving you my impression from experience. If I give you statistics or reports and studies, you'll just give me stats and studies that seem to say something different - that's the nature of stats and studies.
I'm not interested in debating this. I'm just offering my opinion based on my experience. My father was a high school teacher, principal, and superintendent of schools - so I'll pass on his educated opinion as well, which happens to be the same as mine.
The problem with public education in the US is the teachers' unions. Period.
