"What does that tell us? If you don’t want to learn and won’t apply yourself, no amount of money will get you an education. If you want to learn and you apply yourself, you will succeed despite all/any obstacles"

The problem is that those TEACHING the kids are NOT "teaching" them (like my mom and many of my relatives did fifty years ago). Today's "educators" teach nothing, but tell the children that they "know things"...when in fact they do not.

Right-When we were in grade school and HS, there were some simple and very precise tests to determine whether or not you ‘got it’ Students’ ‘feelings’ were not part of the calculation.

None of that goes on now. I especially remember our grade school teachers... no way was anyone going to fudge on THEIR lessons
