Don't use public schools? What do you propose instead? What should teenagers do instead of learn how to read, write and do math?
I propose homeschooling or private schooling for those who can afford it. I have determined that the public school curriculum is trash, the people creating it are trash, and the people teaching it are trash. If you want trash students, please, send them to trash schools.
You don't really propose anything that can help, you just say everything is "trash".
If a man meets one asshole, then that's unlucky, if a man meets a 100 assholes, then maybe he's the asshole.
If you went through 4 years of high school and had only "trash" experiences, maybe the school wasn't the problem.
If you can't propose anything of value or any real ways to improve our flawed system, then you opinions are essentially useless.
Care to back that up with some data...
Homeschooling isn't feasible (or preferable) to a majority of the population, so unless you suggest something else, then you are just complaining.
It's like you are bitching about having a military, but you don't suggest another way to protect our country.
99% of the population could be home, private, or co-op schooled. Perhaps we can do an ACA-style voucher system. Everyone above X over the poverty line pays for their school, everyone else gets some kind of voucher.

That's just your assertion, it's not backed up by an facts.
> It's like you are bitching about having a military, but you don't suggest another way to protect our country.
Who does the country need protection from, at this point? And if that country took control of our country, how would things be materially different than they are today?
And homeschooling isn't feasible for the vast majority of the population, so using homeschooling as solution is ridiculous.
Growing up, our family was lower middle class. Our lack of financial resources combined with my parents limited formal education makes it difficult for my to understand why homeschooling is infeasible for most. The biggest downside is probably an inferior socialization.
