I'd have to say that I find public schools to be at the very least detrimental to my own personal mental health. The social aspects of them have negatives that far exceed the positives and the educational aspects of them continue to be increasingly lacking. Children are overworked to memorize information they won't retain and often won't understand. Kids are more likely to get sick in public schools because many of them aren't clean and with so many kids near each other it's kinda gross. Plus with all the school shootings that happen I have to say that I wouldn't feel comfortable if my little sister still went to public school. I went to public school through 8th grade and now both my little sister and I are homeschooled. We love it and are grateful that our mom is able to stay home with us so we can do it.
Still, any ideas whether The Dark Knight is trying to convey some kind of hidden meaning there?
