As the debate over school choice rages on, many parents may be suffering from information overload. Do you send your child to private school, plunging yourself into trillions of dollars of debt? Should you homeschool, guaranteeing they become weirdos? OR… do you roll the dice and send them to your assigned public school?

The Babylon Bee is here to help you make this important decision with the following list of pros and cons of public school:
