<p>As another note, I really do think it’s the self-value of education that leads to an individual’s good education, and like I’m sure I said somewhere above, that value isn’t often instilled, leading to people who don’t want to be in the classroom. So to really solve the core problem, what I think we really need is a huge, societal shift of personal value on education so it’s the norm. The agent of this plan? Magic! This, for one, would be a board room meeting that I’d like to sit in on. “all in favor of voting for educational values? All opposed?”</p>
<p>For the record, too, I agree with Weasel8488, I have no objections to raising funding for vocational schools, it’s the tests that determine your “self worth”, or any other implicit methods to sort people out that IMO are troubling.</p>
