Side note: This is Wisconsin, so the schools are excellent on the whole. I have a very portable sort of career, and could live most anywhere. I choose to live here in large part because of the outstanding schools. We have the kinds of schools California used to have before they voted themselves out of them.

So some of the comments about how horrible and useless and outdated public education is ... well, they sound like they're talking about someplace else. WI still has a great eucation system.
