Not sure what you mean- that kids don't have the will to work sufficiently hard to get an excellent education?
Irrespective of your reply, I appreciate the thoughtful discussion.

The force of will of the communities. The ability to spend more money and then oversee the expenditures and demand results.
There is much talk about "throwing money at education" and it's a trick statement. A very tricky statement, actually, because it's half true. If you spend money willy-nilly, then you are assured of not getting results. If you apply money in a thoughtful manner, then you will get results, but this takes a massive amount of effort, parent involvement and expertise. So all expenditures are not "throwing money" at the problem.
Yes, a great discussion. Take care.
