>frugal consumers I feel like nobody is attempting to hit that market anymore in the US. As the income gap widens it seems foolish to ignore the majority of the marketplace.

I wrote software to automate about half my job. I'm certainly not going to tell them about it as it can only result in a loss of income for me and my coworkers. Incentives matter I don't care what the management gurus say.

I work for a company that doesn't do performance reviews. Thus, there is little incentive to perform well as nobody will even notice. Everyone just works hard enough to keep their jobs.

What killed it for me is the "We have to teach her to hack in 24 hours!" bit. She had to run a script and bounce a network interface. If that's hacking I'm Captain Crunch.

I use that situation as a personal litmus test. If I get no response back or "I can't open this I need Word!!!!1!" I already know I don't want to work there. Why do tech at a techphobic company?

Now the question is does our education system actually help create good problem solvers or would more metrics and accountability for teachers improve matters?

Now that's cool. Do you have some automated way of testing it or will you be in it on the first test at that depth?

I didn't even know some states have an equal funding mandate, where I live the rich kids go to schools that look like castles and the poor kids go to schools with holes in the ceilings.

It doesn't work out that way though, public schools in wealthy areas are much better than in poor areas.

I don't think this effect is at all unique to children they are just less subtle about it. Bullying causes lots of negative effects but I can't say its worse than growing up without the skills to handle adversity.
