some funding misused

MASSIVE funding misuse. Most of the funding goes to the school boards, admins, and giving children brain damage playing tackle football.

I have a friend that effectively has a PhD in computer science with a teaching cert, he applied to teach some computer course at a local highschool but they gave it to a football coach instead.

Until we reform education, abolish private schools, and adopt standards from other countries, education in the US is unlikely to ever improve.
