At the root, caring for and raising children well is an extremely time intensive endeavor.

It's hard to see a way we could fundamentally afford to pay someone to do it, at scale.

And the solutions that don't involve "someone" (at an extremely low child:caregiver ratio) don't seem like they'd produce success.

I do think schools should financially incentive performance, though! Not firing teachers, but just paying students directly for academic achievement -- make kids care.
