Systematic Mediocrity

It seems to me that public education is a system that, by itself, provides an average education to the students attending it. Homeschooling can provide a superior or inferior education depending on the qualifications of the parents. That's not quite true, the idea is to normalize the education of the public and produce predictable consistent education for the vast majority of people.

There do seem to be problems with the American public education system, some based on funding, some based on poor design of the system as velvetpage points out above.
