  1. In that case, for schools in poor areas with children from poor families. We ought to be encouraging the youngsters to go for apprenticeships and certificate programs at community colleges.

  2. Easier said than done, when most counties and states are going bankrupt from car dependent suburban sprawl. This leaves the Federal government left for receiving financial grants and loans, or more predatory options in the private banking world.

  3.  @jsebby2284  Civil Engineer and Land Use Planner (Chuck Marohn) of Strong Towns has written countless articles, two American urban planning books, and travelled across USA to explain the development issues every American faces. The mounting infrastructure costs for cars, lack of public transit, and overtly strict zoning codes make for a financially insolvent mess. Public School Teachers are just one group of people who have to pay the heavy price for the short sightedness of American leadership. Finland does not have this inherent car dependent suburban problem. That's the main difference!!
