Human beings were not meant to learn about the world in the way we make them learn. I hate that discourse around public school and college is focused on funding them MORE rather than stopping all the horrible stuff we do/finding an alternative

I feel like we're at war and one candidate says we should build our own nukes and the other candidate wants free nukes for all with public funding and I'm just like hey maybe we shouldn't be at war at all guys?

Like most institutions, people have a hard time imagining alternatives and figure what we have now must already be the best possible structure. Much easier to imagine more money will fix things

I used to think that. But one thing I learned since having kids is that social/peer pressure *can* be incredibly effective at getting (neurotypical) kids to learn stuff that is both useful to them and also unlikely for them to pick up if undirected.
