Yes, it does. I went to private schools my whole life, so fortunately, I have received a decent education, but my sister is doing public high school, and the difference is astounding. I really didn't know how bad our education system was until I look at the stuff she is learning. It is insanely below what I was learning at that age.
I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by the "two, too, to," problem. Big pet peeves of mine are, like ClintonHammond said, irregardless. IT'S NOT A WORD! Or when people put an "s" at the end of things that don't require one (I had a friend that referred to them as "deers" and keeps saying Cold Stones instead of the actual title, Cold Stone).
My mom is a teacher (in a private school), and the state of Florida is very down on private school education because, apparently, they take away "good" students (i.e. wealthy students with involved parents), and leave only the "bad" students (poorer students with uninvolved parent/s), so most actually BLAME the private school system for Florida's poor academic achievement.
