No, it means you are saying that the solution depends on changing people's minds rather than tinkering with the tax code for no benefit.

- andi999 6y agoTrying to change peoples mind on something so fundamental as wanting the best for their children is almost as futile as trying to change the laws of physics. If you look at history one of the solution of social problems in communism was to change peoples mind (create the new men) mostly through methods like criticism and selfcriticism and education from early age on. While I believe this changed the character of the people to a certain extends it didnt really work. What my takeaway is, you shouldnt work against (or shouldnt rely on changing) human nature if you want to achieve solutions. (Not picking specifically on communism here, was looking for examples. What works of course is raising peoples awareness about things they didnt know and support change, like palm oil or recycling)
- throwawaygh 6y ago> wanting the best for their children K12 education is not zero-sum. In many ways it's positive-sum. Even private schools and "good" high schools in the USA are mediocre at best. Raise the median quality and the best schools will also get better.
