Re: How much to wire the entire population said by P Ness:sure lets cut all these to pay for FIBER.... lets not put education, homeless, healthcare, cure for cancer, feed the hungry....etc first.... the investment in FIBER to the home would not generate the returns. What do you do when the homeless want to be homeless? when being on welfare and off the books begging is an easier job than working? There will never be a cure for cancer, the same way there will never be a nuclear WW3, nobody funds cures, if you cure someone, you can't make more money off them. Feed the hungry? Food stamps and welfare already fix that.
K-12 education is hopelessly broken, $50/hr and pension for a person that never aspired higher than "liberal arts" in college, lowering the standard to increase graduation, never hold parents responsible for the kid never doing homework in 12 years. If public education worked, private schools wouldn't exist. If public school was as good as private, only an idiot would pay twice, once as property tax, other as private tuition, for the same education for their kid. Then the overpaid public teachers get the extra tuition a private school student paid in property taxes. Rewarding failure.
Fiber is the same investment roads, law enforcement, garbage pickup, etc is. | | |

| You seriously don't know what many teachers make. Some states, such as Wyoming, can pay their teachers a decent wage, first year teacher makes around $40,000. In Ohio, like many other states, that same first year teacher will make $24,000.
I would say 70% of the failure in public schools are the parent(s) the other 20% are teachers, and the other 10% is straight up politics. You can fire the teachers (though sometimes a challenge) You cannot fire the parents. Politics... well... that Politics. | |
