Education

But what tragic circumstances.

Someone, I think Bill Ayers, said that a principal indicator of the state of health of a society is it's investment in education. Not the graduation rate in particular or scores, but investment.

Where teachers are required to pay for supplies (and usually cannot even write them off as business expenses) that were formerly provided by the schools we have a chronic problem, a society that doesn't care and systems that don't work.

How very sad.
