It's an American (maybe some other countries) phenomenon.

Nobel Laurates, winners, inventors, top-level business people come out of public schools in many countries.

But those public schools do NOT have:

• common core
• multiple choice testing
• corporation sponsored "education"
• lack of maths
• lack of logic
• lack of languages
• lack of critical thinking skills

If my kids were in USA, hell no would I put them in a public school!
