I'm also 34, a product of the public schools and a single father (who did the best he could and was strict and very responsible!), and agree with you basically.
I haven't thought about children yet, just thinking about learning to be dangerous so I can protect someone I love when the time comes.
I wouldn't trust a single damned person in this world with my hypothetical children, other than myself and whoever I have them with.
I envy that you had your father and when and if my kids ask why I didn't let them go to public school, I'll reply: Because daddy grew up with the college educated idiots who would have taught you and had conversations with them and learned what they believed. Lol
