The point for me is that the failure, inefficiency, whatever you want to call it of our public schools is a deeper threat to the economy in the long term than the failure of GM in the short term.
But we are managing our way from headline to headline and crisis to crisis. We can't fund and improve public schools over the long haul the way we fund GM in the short term, just because we lack attention spans (and because the public schools lack a lobbying arm proportionate to their reach).

- krakensden 18y agoWhile I don't claim to know much about public school administrators in the United States in general, I have to say that my experience growing up under the WCCUSD (http://www.wccusd.k12.ca.us/ http://www.wccusd.k12.ca.us/) makes me believe that that may be more of a blessing than a curse.
