the fact that the government provides us with sub-par "services" does not refute the statement that taxation is a form of theft.
Public schools are not nice, in general. That's why anyone with any money at all sends their kids to private school.
In the US, maybe. In other countries (that rank better [1] on science and math at 15), they seem to be ok.

think the commenter meant "nice"= "nice to have" not a statement on quality.
I didn't realize UC Berkeley was a private school.
See, I added, "in general", because I knew somebody was going to come behind me and give one anecdotal reference to a good public school. Yes, there are some good public colleges, and a whole lot of crappy public colleges. Yes, there are a few good public secondary schools and a whole lot of really awful ones.

same on what jeremy said. he specifically meant in general. not only did you pick a top ranked school as an example, but chose the #1 ranked public school as a representation of public schools in general.
i went to 8 schools before graduating high school. ranging qualities really depends on neighborhoods' wealth, unless there's a magnet/charter type school.
