4. I don't think comparing private to public is valid
as a method of verification that explicit rule sets are not being followed. For instance, if both private and public have the same level of dysfunction, your method would assume everything is okay, no need to change anything!

What percentage of the general population has less than favorable opinions of their own education?
Why?

Identifying where these attitudes primarily come from is important in addressing them.

I don't see this article as being skewed against public education, rather, identification of an explicit rule set violation can help public schools better serve all the children in those schools, and over a long enough time period, our society as a whole.

Fixing the problems for future children does nothing to help those who were harmed in the past. Still, improvement for future generations is laudable.
