Yes, in my opinion it is to some extent. It isn't that we don't know the solutions to public school problems. And it isn't that there are no, good, public schools. There are many of course.

There is broad agreement on educational objectives. Their is no point in politicizing the problems of public schools. Those with a particular political agenda will under- or over-state them. But they are not the ones to provide the remedies.
