I've got to agree with you. I find myself lucky enough to be in a very well off public school, in fact, I'm posting from there now. Most of our teachers are very well trained in the subjects they teach, and enjoy and take pride in what they do. Sure, you always have bad apples. I'm assuming that my situation here is a rarity the way that many people talk about public school. Oh, and just a funny tidbit, my school blocks slashdot. God-damn those intellectuals and their crazy ideas at that Slashdot!
the ability to play most of the popular games today. Yeah, I know, it's possible to get them all to work in Wine or Cedega, but with limited success. When I attempted to make the switch from Windows to Linux, that's what brought me back. Dual-booting is such a pain in the ass, it's not even worth it. There are replacements to most important Windows applications, but not games.
