As a semi-retired business writer who taught in Detroit 35 years ago, I returned to the classroom because a local high school was unable to replace a Latin teacher who had resigned.
After an interview and teaching a few "Test" classes to first- and second-year students, I was hired.
Parents of high-performing students are "Satisfied customers." Their kids study and bring home good grades, so they think they are getting their money's worth from high taxes.
The illusion of competence also explains why - despite falling student enrollment, which should reduce costs - Grosse Pointe and similar school districts succeed in raising school taxes.
Today's students are never free of the school district's watchful eye, which seems to take its cues from the CIA and TSA. But with so many parents accepting after-school surveillance, children never learn the sense of outrage that healthy individuals feel in the presence of Peeping Toms.
During a presentation about Gutenberg's moveable-type printing press, a student became upset upon learning that literacy skyrocketed as a result of this invention - not because of public schools.
If you wonder why students at schools like the University of Michigan cannot tolerate free speech and need trigger warnings and safe spaces, look no further than public schools.
