People are not going into the public school system during adulthood.

Inflation-adjusted average teachers salaries have fallen over the past decade, and starting salaries are at the lowest levels measured: https://www.nea.org/nea-today/all-news-articles/average-teac...

A lot of teachers in the US now work two jobs to make ends meet, which is a recipe for disaster.

No they don't enter public school during adulthood, but if none of the interventions move the needle by the time their adults, what's the point?

Have inflation-adjusted salaries for other industries? They're not great either. Look at average attorney starting salaries.
