Our schools are captured by corporations who want them to churn out cogs that can be bought and inserted into their corporate machines. The resilience our schools used to have to resist this corporate push has disintegrated because we, as a society, have told highly competent women that fields like finance and engineering were more honorable than teaching. We eliminated competition in education by encouraging the best teachers to go into other fields. We've devalued the aspects of society that made our schools great. All of this was done with good intentions (another Trojan horse if you will) but has had dire consequences.
