Can't see the original article due to paywall. But I get the gist from the comments. The "teachers don't make enough", "we don't spend enough on education", etc. debate is on the wrong point. The education system and philosophy in the USA is broken at all levels. Citizens are acting rationally by not volunteering to spend more tax dollars on it. Those that can afford it bypass it entirely by paying for private education, or if they don't have quite that much money, by moving to a community that is wealthier and has better public education. Economic forces combined with the digital age's technology will inevitably lead to the creative destruction of the education industry, just as other industries formed under Industrial Age economics have been deconstructed. Unfortunately this is being fought to the death by the established education community and its monopolistic, union-based government and quasi-governmental constituents. Try telling a public school teacher any of this, and you'll get not a reasoned response, but scorn, anger, and a slamming door in your face. It's going to be brutal for them when it comes.
