Better Schools Won’t Fix America

Nick Hanauer (@NickHanauer) on Twitter

What I’ve realized, decades late, is that educationism is tragically misguided. American workers are struggling in large part because they are underpaid—and they are underpaid because 40 years of trickle-down policies have rigged the economy in favor of wealthy people like me. Americans are more highly educated than ever before, but despite that, and despite nearly record-low unemployment, most American workers—at all levels of educational attainment—have seen little if any wage growth since 2000.

To be clear: We should do everything we can to improve our public schools. But our education system can’t compensate for the ways our economic system is failing Americans. Even the most thoughtful and well-intentioned school-reform program can’t improve educational outcomes if it ignores the single greatest driver of student achievement: household income.

Thoughts?

Bad logic. Lots of Americans are underpaid because their education has been sabotaged. They make decisions that shoot themselves in the foot rather than the right decision in cases where they get taken advantage of

If they are so educated they wouldn’t believe Hilary is the antichrist and Obama was sending soldiers to Texas to annex it.

It's extremely hard to educate a child who is growing up in poverty and instability

This is why Bernie's constant message about the 1% taking all our wealth resonates with people. They know what's going on. They're not stupid. And they want a leader who will mobilize the entire public, not just the a$$holes in congress.

Bernie's going to be the first president in US history who openly supports striking and other organized labor action. That's why the b*stards are so desperate to stop his election. They know that he knows that we know.

Riddle me this: If Warren threatens the establishment in the same way Bernie does, why is the media gushing over her?



You know the fukk why.

Damn just realized I been calling Warren a shill but a fence sitter is a better phrase. bytch is so anti establishment she didn't support Bernie and waited till kumbaya to endorse Hilary. Bruh I hate how these idiots fall for the banana in the tailpipe everytime

Schools are missing critical thinking. Easily fixed by making philosophy a main course from pre k to senior.

I think our economic system has profited off, and magnified our most base instincts to the point where it's difficult to convince kids of the value of being educated. Hell, its difficult to convince adults. I think there's a certain degree of selflessness and self sacrifice to becoming educated and those arent very marketable qualities.

No president is going to fix whats plaguing our educational system. None. There's more to life than politics.
I would stop hanging my hopes and dreams on any one savior.

You’re missing the point.

If you living in a low income house it makes it harder to take education serious. When you stressing about there being no food in the fridge, having clean clothes and electricity in the house as a kid, studying for school last thing on ya mind
