I don't blame the schools actually. Sure our schools are substandard, but that is merely a reflection of our culture's own apathy toward it. We love to lip-service education, but when it comes down to it, we don't care. Even those that care are only concerned with their own kids... and isn't it funny how our education system doesn't stop them from achieving?
Education begins with a desire to learn. This is not something our culture emphasizes.
