    Why not? I learned to read in 1st grade of public school. In New Jersey no less.

    Public school systems, while definately lacking in some districts, are not all bad.

    Go to any major university during finals week. The marketing/business majors will be the ones in the bars in the afternoons relaxing and looking foreward to break, and the engineering students will be in the lab working their arses off. Not trying to bitch, but please don't call us "marketing wannabees"(sic)
