Let us keep in mind not all parents in the United States have the economical resources to send their children to private schools, in which they would have it harder to meet with all the payments required for their children to complete all years of educations required for them to get all the way until highschool.
There is nothing wrong with attending to a public school and the majority of people in the country turn out being productive members of society, regardless either they had the chance to attend public schools or not.

The important thing one must do is learning to improve one's life in the future.
