Poor Schools Make Poor Countries

No one will disagree with this - it's obvious.

The only thing people disagreed on was - (1) whether or not their schools were bad - and, (2) if they are bad, how they are bad - and (3) how to fix them - spending the least amount possible!

I will start off, by saying the American primary schools in the Sixties, were not very good. Students were more interested in having fun, that in studying - and their parents indulged them in this. I had no children myself, and I watched this in amazement.

Partly because of this, the American economy declined. People did not want to work, and they did not want to work at learning. In short - they did not want to work.
