The title is a little tongue in cheek if you know anything about Israel's entrance into the Promised Land. Any promise that an educational system is going to be idyllic will be found to be false, just as anything in life that promises to be idyllic will be false.

Public Education Exodus
Prior to Covid-19 we had already decided that if possible, we would not be sending our kids to public schools.
