Yes, we underfund education. But there are hard working teachers at every school. And libraries. I know you want to believe it's all about more money, but it really isn't. It's about culture. And that entrenched mindset will be hard to change.

I agree, but money makes programs and educational research feasible and more practical to implement. I'm a late GenXer and saw the dumbification of our educational system and cultural dumbification. Rewatch FRIENDS and notice how often Ross is booed for bringing up science and academics...

Yes, as in your example, the culture is the problem. We can agree to disagree.
