Everyone knows or should know that the current US education system is no longer good enough for us—and that money is not the problem. The problem is not the sincerity or dedication of most teachers either. It’s content, structure, and purpose, and it’s past time for an overhaul.

American education is both so very good, and so very bad. Trying to frame an education system with tens of millions of students within a very basic working/not working dichotomy is so incredibly unhelpful. It is indeed much more complicated than that.
You mean you can't critique the educational system with adequate nuance in 140 characters or less? Who would've thought.

eg this tweet would Have been more Accurate, broadly: poverty + income inequality/death of the manufacturing base + reactive technocratic, neoliberal Ed reform as a Trojan horse for privatization = the system we have now

No, because "the education system" isn't really a thing. It's at least hundreds of little satellite systems operating in dramatically different ways around a very loose and confusing set of federal standards. Some parts of American education are world-beating. Some aren't.
