Schools can educate well beyond that level, provided they are resourced. Bloom’s 2 sigma problem comes to mind (1). Education also ends up suffering because its seen as a support role, teachers are not valued, and “He who can, does; he who cannot, teaches". Education is also political today. Science based education is an outright target. Increasing government spending to improve outcomes is also a contested issue, and in America this is met with arguments about bad teachers, unions, and privatization/vouchers. There is much that can be done to improve educational outcomes, but like everything, it is contested. | ||
