Public education is being "degraded" through a lack of government support and through people deserting to private schools, not by those who have remained loyal to the system. Teachers in public schools are working under increasingly difficult circumstances and the vast majority of them are doing a great job. They don't deserve to have their efforts denigrated as you've done and what's more without any substantiation of your claims.
Just because you've had a bad experience, please don't fall into the trap of tarring everyone with the same brush. I've worked in lots of public schools and without exception found them to be successful, vibrant and progressive places of learning. They are providing a much needed model of inclusiveness and collaboration and greatly enhance their local communities.
