Neither of these is within the auspices of a valid, constitutional government.
The government can establish policies that foster economic development, and it can promote a better educated populace through things like achievement awards, but to advance these interests using the coercive force of the state reduces the people to serfs.
In fact, the more the government gets involved with the compass and content of education, the more expensive and the less effective it becomes, and the more government gets involved with the economy, the more they damage it.
Exactly, and so-called economic development is just a Soviet 5-year plan with a Chamber of Commerce face. It is government management of the economy, picking winners and losers in business, and using our money to take lavish trips to schmooz with business people. It should be illegal.
The only thing that will improve education in this country is for government to get out completely. Privatize, and see real change. It is not likely to happen, because the sheeple still believe in public education. There has not been any real innovation or progress in education in 100 years or more.
