>US has awful K-12 education

US has awful public K-12 in most of School Districts. Private schools are very good, but cost just as much as college.

What I understand is that anything good in America costs $$$$. And all the free stuff is the same quality as a free couch on a sidewalk

Yeah, I'm thinking of private schools too, but not many people go to them. Otherwise I would say the education is decent. End of the day, average American graduating grade 12 probably didn't get much.

There are (or were?) second or third world countries where private is the majority and only really poor people go to public.

I did go to a private high school that had better security, but that required driving further, which probably more than negated the safety benefits.

The US K-12 system is great. Unfortunately, the students and parents are not.
