Some schools are better than others. Actually, scratch that,
   some teachers are better than others. Also, don't forget: Some
   STUDENTS are better than others. A kid can thrive or fail in any
   given school situation as can teachers and administrators alike.
   That being said, school sucks. Always did. Always will. I have
   dreams of better schools and I'm banking on the generations
   themselves doing something as they take what they've learned
   having been raised on the Internet and bring it forward into
   their future careers as teachers, administrators, politicians.
