Sounds like an excuse for being a lazy parent. What school a child goes to is one of the most important things in their life. It has nothing to do with sheltering them. Small children SHOULD be sheltered. They can grow up, and see this truly shitty world as they become teens/young adults.
I grew up around horrible public schools, and neighborhoods but was fortunate that my parents sent me to excellent private schools.
The difference is night, and day. In comparison, the people I know who went to public schools are severely lacking in morals, and general success in life itself.
My siblings and I were all educated in public schools. All three of us are doing well for ourselves and our families. I attribute our successes to the work ethic and the values instilled in us by our father - a truly incredible human being.
There's nothing lazy about it. My wife homeschooled our son for two years after our daughter died of cancer - he had a very difficult time being there after his sister passed. We put him back in this year to get social interaction. The education that happens on the playground among his peers is just as valuable as what he's learning in the classroom, but the education of our children shouldn't stop after school. We as parents have to continue it. We have to talk about current events, we have to have the hard conversations, and we have to teach them most importantly how to think critically.
I personally prefer private Catholic schools because Christian values are very important to my family, and those schools teach great discipline to children. Some public schools are good, but the vast majority are piss poor. I'd personally homeschool my kids before ever sending them to a public school.
Private schools are always going to be better than free public schools. I believe in going the extra mile for my children.
