I and my three siblings all went to public schools, with excellent outcomes. Educationally, I'm the slacker in the family - only a bachelors' degree. One sister has a PhD, the other is working on a MD/PhD, and my brother got a Masters in Education, and is now teaching mathematics at one of those very same public schools we all went to.

If not for the No Child Left Behind/Race to the Top/Michelle Rhee crap that is now in vogue, I would have no reservation championing public over private. Hopefully that will blow over.
