How can other countries that do turn out these great engineers, doctors and scientists do it at a fraction of the cost that our system does? I doubt it's because their teachers are raking in massive salaries.
We focus on the wrong stuff. It's not that I don't believe education is one of the most important fuels for our country/economy to be competitive - it's that we jack up the dollars spent every year for education without even a reasonable increase in how the system and the student performs. Every year the politicians run on the goal of increasing education spending and seldom to never talk about devising ways to ensure the system’s performance improves and accountability for the dollars spent.
Basically the fundamental problem with government when it gets away from the 5 or 6 things they should work on (defense, borders, etc…) – and get themselves into areas like Education where they perform poorly at best.
