And if you're not aware that education is terribly underfunded and need a quoted resource to prove it, I'd love to know where you got the giant rock you've been living under.

I would like to comment on your assertion that our education is underfunded.
I haven't looked it up for a while but I thought that we in the U.S. already spend much more per student than Europe and most other industrial countries.
I don't have any answers but I'm not sure that adding more money into our current education systems will do much good. Maybe we need to reallocate how the money is being spent, more on teachers and less on administration or something. Perhaps it is like shesus wrote and nothing will improve without parents taking more responsibility for their children's education.
