100. It Could Go Either Way, At This Point
No one's talking about it out load, but in parts of the country, public schools are breaking down and it's not because of bad teachers or bad admins, it's because of bad parents.

Whether by chance of unfortunate circumstances like being trapped in a cycle of poverty with no faith in oneself to climb out, drugs, the computer/internet age, or other reasons for misbehavior and what have you, the worst students are bogging down the entire system and holding back others.

Some will look to Charter schools with rose-tinted glasses as a great savior, and of course it's to be expected there will be corporate capitalism entities who see an opportunity to make a buck. Deny that and you lose all hope of being taken seriously.
