The first point I wish to dispense with right off the bat, is the notion that since everything was so wonderful a century ago―before public schooling really got started―obviously public schools are a bad idea. Likewise pointing at spurious statistics from a time when the United States had one twentieth the population―and a far less diverse one at that―is either sadly misguided or just plain dishonest. There has never been a world like the one in this twenty-first century, nor a society like that of present day America; therefore, history is a poorly-fitting argument either for or against public schooling.
If we look at various 3rd world societies around the world, we see the correlated threads of lack of opportunity for education, high unemployment, famine, disease, and of course rampant crime. Correlation does not prove causation; however, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to point an accusing finger at the root problem―ignorance.
