A huge travesty in America is definitely how we treat teachers and the idea of becoming a teacher. We act as though the last thing anyone wants as a white collar job is to be a teacher ('if nothing else, teach' and similar popular phrases exist). As a society, we should value the role of teaching.
Of course, tying education funds to property tax is not helping. Nor is relying on standardized tests. Nor treating everyone as if they learn the same. We also cannot keep expecting everyone to go to college and thus encouraging the business model education has become. Vocational training, schools, and jobs are needed.
