You know. . . the human race?
The momentum we can gain from space exploration. Quote:Maybe a better idea would be to use that money to better educate inner city youths or improve America's poor maths and science teaching?
5th, you are reacting as if I said that is the only thing we should do. There are plenty of places we can cut losses and provide for these children you speak of. Unfortunately, what many do not think of is that some kids just aren't going to pass these one-size-fits-all tests with flying colors. You may think it is bad teaching. To be honest, I think it is poor testing. In some cases, yes, children are not being taught well, but that is state, not national, level. You'll have to have a better tantrum than that.
