I would posit that a majority of thise reading HN could make a major impact into a child's education if they had the chance + incentive to do so. Life and responsibility mostly get in the way. Its hard enough to parent when you are trying to work full time and keep the house clean. No time for teaching left. Those that have ample time to teach (young and single) are too disconnected or not incentivized to actually care. By the time we can teach (old/retirement age), there is no longer a chance to make an inpact on those lives you love.
