I don't agree with caste structures either. As a kid, I grew up with nothing. My mother worked, and my father worked two jobs. There were times that we had potatoes for a week straight because that's all we could afford. Now, I have a large house, lots of land, and a solid six figure income. I have friends that are janitors, sales clerks, unemployed bumbs, as well as CEOs, retired milionaires, etc.
Of all my friends, every one of them that is at, or below the poverty line were happy with their public education, and look at me funny or even argue with me when I tell them that I am homeschooling. Every one of my friends that is over a six figure income that went to public school hated it, and feel that they "survived" it, and that it had less than zero benefit to getting them where they are today. (most of them are also homeschooling their children... coincidence?)
Yes, I absolutely agree that everyone deserves a chance. Everyone deserves a sense of self worth, etc. I just don't think that a public school education gives them any of that.
