    I’m receptive to that. I’m the definition of a layperson, having read one “popular” book on the subject so I only have vague general notions a layer or so deeper than a completely naive person. In any case the main things I feel strongly about are paying teachers more (and paying very well qualified ones very well), giving them the leeway to dictate what they teach and how, and treating students as if they were innocent civilians deserving of respect and support, rather than… How we treat them now.

      Hard agree.

      I think a good start is more funding for the IRS and hitting the rich harder with taxes.
