The answer to bad schools isn’t to burn the entire concept of education down, like the woman in this (and you seemingly) suggests. The answer is to remove the societal barriers that are put in place due to capitalist fuckery. Public Schools are one of the greatest things the working class ever won, along with the abolishment of child labor (Terms and conditions may apply).

One of the greatest things the working class ever lost.

Having their children tortured and reprogrammed to regurgitate the ruling class line. The conformity factory. Winning bigly!

the state schooling children was a demand of the labor movement that was won. What came before was children working in 16 hour days in factories many of whom died there.

children going to school together was historically considered a privilege of the aristocracy

And yet it turned into a conformity factory and torture center, the equal of any CIA black site.

I can tell you were one of the popular kids. I get it, school was wonderful for you. You probably have a great deal of nostalgia.
