I think that the schools themselves already ruined the concept of "free,
public schools."  In fact, given that the public education system was
created to Protestantize Catholics and teach young people to become good
citizens (read: obedient servants of the state in Prussian fashion), the
whole concept of public school was corrupt from the beginning.

And, for that matter, public school is *not* free.  It costs taxpayers
quite a bit of money, which often leaves parents with little option but to
send their children to abysmal public schools.
