yea,  so how is that government regulated free public education going? The problem isn't in free education but the fact that it is regulated at a national level and not a local level. They simply teach kids how to pass multiple choice tests. Why do you think China has passed us in innovation and math and science scores? We are making children so lazy that they demand the answer to sit right in front of them instead of using their brains. You should have taken some time to sit down and think about the issue yourself instead of playing the same sad song that everyone plays when we say the word "communism."
