Why kids do so much better in Finland is not teacher pay, or test prep! It's lack of poverty. Kids come to school ready to learn from homes that value education.
No matter which political side you come from, all our efforts, right, left and middle, have failed to create a consistent system in our country that lifts people out of poverty. And our schools suffer. (And, no, it isn't because we took down the 10 commandments or don't say a collective prayer. There's plenty of prayer in school, and lots of people who care)
We can keep blaming the "other" side, the poorer people, immigrants or whatever, but nobody's plan is working.
What would God do? Leviticus 23:22? Proverbs 11:25? Proverbs 22:9
