"Ton of spending" are weasel words. "Not a ton of results" is already the problem.

If your school system fails to teach kids how to read after 3 years, this is a school system that fails at it's primary and most basic responsibility. These third-graders are not the problem, they are the canary in the coal mine.

Advocating for holding back third graders and expelling underperformers is a kin to advocate for getting rid of canaries because they are a nuisance when assessing health and safety.

> this is a school system that fails

I never disagreed on this point.

Now what? Every morning, kids wake up a day older. Is there a way to hit pause so you have time to go in and fix it?
