Abolishing public schools??? not a good idea. I know they seem like a failure, but that is only in the eyes of our own nation. Try going to other countries and see what it's like living somewhere where there is no well established education. Or better yet, try hanging out with a high school drop-out. I'm not saying they're stupid, but they are much more likely to live problematic lives without some education.
