One of the things rolling through my mind today is the animosity that people here in the States have for public schools and public school teachers.

Recently, I read a survey that said 80% of parents were satisfied with their child's school, but only 40% of the general public were satisfied with schools.

Do those same trends exist in other countries?

(And if not, how do we fix things here in the States?)

@plugusin The problem, as with so many other aspects of the right wing, is that they've invented their own universe and facts that are easily disproved by basic logic are accepted by them as foundational tenets of their philosophy. So far I don't know how to get through the BS. I have a cousin that I sometimes interact with on FB and it's difficult to talk politics because her set of basic assumptions differs so much from mine.
