Glad I don't live in the US then. Virtually all schools in the UK are
public schools - it is 'different' to go to a private school. We have
OFSTEAD inspectors and league tables based on exam results to keep
standards up and give parents a good idea about how good a school is and
so which one to send their children to. This competition drives
standards up - they are introducing performance related pay soon to weed
out bad teachers, i.e. ones who say make notes from Azzopardi P351-353
do questions on P355 and don't do a good lesson.
In our schools students are forced to do work, they can't sit around
reading comics like you did Larry :-) (1) We have a standard
qualification - a 'GCSE' which all employers recognise.
Beat that system then!! We get a higher average level of literacy than
you.

(1) You mentioned this on an RTL thread ages ago but then found post 16
education more difficult.
