Public education: total shit. Utter, complete, and in all ways shit. To say that funding is insufficient is laughable.
It's absolutely ridiculous. Does it not make anyone else mad the way that we have completely dropped the ball on giving kids a fair shot at a future? If you live in the wrong area, your educational standards are way lower than others. You stand a multifold greater risk of dropping out, doing poorly while you are in school, or being exposed to things like gang activity or drugs, and earlier exposure to sex- which you've received piss-poor, if any, education about.
Why is this country allowing itself to be destroyed from the inside? Why does everyone cry "save the children!" but do fuckall about fixing the terrible education most of them are getting? Why is there no public outcry that this "great nation" has a shitty education system?
Do people just not care anymore?

And your evidence for all of this is what, exactly? Normally if you're going to make some huge broad claim such as yours you want to back it up with at least one semi-believable cite, otherwise it just comes across as bullshit.
One thing you obviously fail to understand is just how much stuff has to be crammed into kids minds these days in grades 1-12, especially in subjects like history. There just isn't any time to go into any real depth, you have to cram it all in. Hell, when I was in high school, we barely spent a week on World War II, and even the college class I took on the subject just hit the high points.
If you truly want to go in depth on a subject you have to go for a masters or PHD or do some casual reading on your own.
