Could education be the solution to our problems? We undervalue the value of education in the U.S.

If students are the future of America, why are we not investing in them heavily? Education is a system that was established and added onto but seldom looked at from a macro level. The system is tricky and often allows for disparities between schools not only in different districts but sometimes the same. Could an investment in the education system of the U.S. drive another technological revolution?

I believe that greater investment in education will allow students to develop a greater curiosity, the strongest intrinsic motivator we have. Stronger motivation to learn post graduation would lead to an increase in advancement. Also, reallowing trade programs to flourish in public schools to catch any student who aren’t interested in research or education but want to have a career path that will show them the results of there work (i.e. A general contractor sees their project move along in steps and gives them dopamine when the project completes each step). How could this be accomplished? What hurdles need to be overcome to shift a societal view on public school?
