The wrong people are becoming teachers, the wrong things are being taught and it's not about the kids. I know nothing about the US schooling system

The U.S. education system isn't too different. The salaries for elementary, middle, and high school teachers are very low compared to the past few decades, therefore they don't really give a crap about helping our students. It's the same situation for college professors.
Tuition has also skyrocketed! We have students paying EGREGIOUS sums of money just for one year of college. The state college near my house used to cost a little over 8k per year when I attended back in 2010. Now, it costs just under 20k per year. More and more high school graduates are choosing not attend and prefer to get a job immediately after graduation. 🤷♂️
