What they never taught us

Is this just your ramblings or do you have some information to back this up? My public education didn't feel anything like this.

Yeah i have to say i went to public school in south carolina my whole k-12 and i had a very good expreience. Teachers were very good about promoting open thought.

Even about school policies teachers allowed free conversation. We had long discussions in our government class about how our princaple likely misshandled several legal/media situations and what the more optimal decisions could have been. In econ we spent alot of time talking about the school's tardy and attendance policies. Teachers were fine to let us argue and debate them about most anything (including the existence of the state which came up on occasion).

And from what ive heard south carolina's schools are as bad as they get so maybe im just really lucky.
