Everyone Involved in American Education Is Broke  America is
full of dumb people. We all need education, and lots of it. The
problem is, getting involved in education in America in any
capacity is a one-way ticket to poverty. Must we always remain
dumb, forever?  Sadly, it appears so. Because while what is
objectively called for is an intensive campaign to sit every
last dumb American down and force-feed us education until we
smarten up, it will never happen so long as both teaching and
learning are such poor economic decisions. Consider: a new
report says that American teachers are more or less treated like
shit, and the number one thing that we could do to improve its
education system would be to "Make a concerted effort to raise
the status of the teaching profession."  Haha, that should be
happening any moment now, what with the current popularity of
the concept of improving salaries and working conditions for
public employees! Meanwhile, on the student side of the
equation: students are all broke, thanks
