Now you're talking about the dissatisfaction of a political system, which in name only (democracy), is designed to benefit 'the many', that has been wholly overtaken by an economic system (capitalism) which by design, quite effectively maximizes benefit for 'the few'.
You can be sure that the children of the paid-for politicians and the children of the families who finance the system that keeps the paid-for politicians in place, are all sent to excellent schools (that you have probably never heard of) where there is never any shortage of first-rate teachers, and no limit to supplies and opportunities.
To top it off, in our lower-tier 'public education' it is forbidden to discuss the existence and basis of these inequities, the topic has even been excised from the curriculum, before it ever gets printed.
