I am not a great friend of schools as they exist
today, but can you provide the source for this
statement? Yes, I saw the link, but I dont have the
time to read through the whole website:)

That is highly doubtful. Many were privately educated
at tremendous cost. They might not have bragged about
it, but nobody became a lawyer without some pretty
serious study and education. I am not in favour of
compulsory schooling, but in the political arena it
was and is fairly difficult to survive without formal
schooling and subsequent university education.

Of course they are.

Schools, it is true, have been in existence outside of
democracy for millenia. But I don't think it is
possible to deliver broad-based education without it.
I am not an American and I only attended one semester
in Berkeley, so I am not intimately familiar with the
secondary education in the US.
