I seriously doubt we will agree on a fix though. I believe welfare programs are the #1 contributing factor in generation after generation living in poverty.

I do find it very hard to put much blame on schools though. Funded or not, a school does no good if the students are not there.
Agreed. Also, students NEED to know that the education is there for them. If they show up, apply themselves, they will earn their education and move on. Even if a very, very small percentage of teachers were not knowledgeable in certain things (or may not be paid that well), they still have more knowledge to pour into their students.
