Got a crappy product... Change the name

The Pittsburgh Public Schools have decided to drop the word "Public" from it's name because of "the district might be able to avoid the negative attitude often associated with public schools".

I know this sounds like a crazy idea but if you want to avoid the negative attitude associated with public schools how about not doing the things that generate the negative attitude about public schools.

Has it ever occurred to these geniuses, that acts like these are the very reasons people have a negative attitude about public schools. It's all about form over substance with these bureaucrats.

Really, has the school board ever considered doing a survey and actually improving the things that give "public" schools such a bad name. It's like putting perfume on a pig.
