Specifically I'm wondering about NYC schools, since I don't know about other places.
When my dad was in school in Michigan in the 60s, they had a huge pool, and a school band, a school orchestra, a million sports, shop class, a great theater department, all this great stuff. It was a public school.
My mom's school in Long Island was great too. They had three choices of languages (Spanish, French and German), gym class every day and they did stuff like archery, they had a well-stocked lab, a great music department (in both my parents' schools you could just walk in to the band room and rent a French horn, and learn to play it and be in a group) and all kinds of great stuff.
The schools in my area definitely don't have any of that. Hell, if I were in the system my books would be ten years old, kids would be having sex in the hallways, no way in hell there's a band or orchestra, gym once a week, no foreign language or just Spanish...
Aren't we paying the same amount of taxes?
