And do with the money what exactly? Teach what, exactly?
Students are taught the usual math, english, science, and history. If you want to teach critical thinking and analysis, you're going to need to either displace one of the subject matter or retrain how and what teachers teach.
There isn't enough hours in the day to squeeze in another subject in between high stake exam training and overloading students with homework.
Money doesn't seem to be the constraining factor here. Political reform are needed, and so is the support framework for training teachers to teach in yet "unproven" methodology.

There are schools where scientific theories of biology and sexuality are discounted, as well as discussions on climate, and now those are voter issues of today.
- minikites 7y agoIf you're not teaching critical thinking as a component of every single subject then you're not really teaching anything.
