I think you are, Phil. Either that or you've been out in California too long.

The middle class can't afford private school, for the most part. And it's getting so they can't afford to live in districts which sport quality public schools. Well, maybe Iowa or Mesa, AZ or Colorado Springs, CO, but not the kind of quality that existed in the schools we attended. Leroy estimates that only one high school in ten provides a quality education. Or is it one in ten students receives a quality education. Increasingly, that's likely to be a rich or upper middle class student.
