Argh, a purely government-run system of high schools has gotten us into 
this rotten mess in this country. Don't throw good money after bad one.

NOTE: Here is what I am *not* saying: "It is impossible to have a 
country's government run a successful high school system." I am saying 
that the high school system in this country has been run by states and 
counties for the past N decades, and they failed.

Create a competition. But perhaps that's what we have and perhaps the 
ripple effects will go back to where they need to go.
