Most of the problems facing us today in the U.S. stem from our under appreciation and funding for education. Why we aren't tackling the virus the way we should. Why poor neighborhoods stay poor and full of crime. Why so many people believe in conspiracy theories.
Why we don't do anything about climate change. Why we have so much injustice. All of this has some of it's problems going back to our education system. Is everything 100% on it, no but it is a huge part.
To the appreciation portion too, we have a culture in America that believes they should only have to learn what will get them a job/degree and don't care about the rest. The reason these things are taught is so the average person has a good understanding of the world around them
For the solution. I'm not claiming here I know every in and out, but we need to find a way to get more Govt funding to public schools, especially in underprivileged areas that can't just get more taxes from the city itself for funding.
This is a complicated subject on how to fix problems in America but education is for sure a large piece of the puzzle. We need to look at this as we aren't just enriching a specific person's life but we would be even enriching your life by having a smarter populous around us.
I found it ironic this just came out the same day I post this thread. For my personal experience I learned a lot of this stuff but either in college or on my own.
