What’s more important to get a kid, a new iPhone or some education? Americans mostly don’t do after school reinforcement education because it’s not in our cult

What’s more important to get a kid, a new iPhone or some education?
Americans mostly don’t do after school reinforcement education because it’s not in our culture —unlike Asian cultures where buxibans are pretty much the rule. People will putt around in very old cars which need replacement in order to afford being able to send their kids to after school classes.
We’d rather get new sneakers, iPhones or whatever else peer pressure tells us to do.
Our pop culture reinforces the “be a dope” stereotype as cool and the studious kids as “nerdy”. That’s all you need to know.
