The problem with public school is not overcrowding in the classroom. The problem is not teacher unions. The problem is not underfunding or lack of computer equipment. The problem is your damn kids.

In the U.K., there is a sort of obsession with class.

I feel that education needs an overhaul - courses are obsolete and grades are on the way out.

Society is so divided in its perception of public school people. Most people who went to public school behave in the right way, but every now and then there will be someone who comes along and ruins it.

Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource - the minds of our children.

Kids are falling through the cracks and nobody notices it. That to me is what's wrong with the school system.

The ignorant classes are the dangerous classes.

School reform is not enough. The notion of schooling itself must be challenged.

Many classrooms are overcrowded, and splitting the class into smaller groups gives the children more one on one attention.

Everything that we used to think got taught at home now seemingly has to be taught in the public school system, and something is going to get lost in the process.
