that's like saying police waste money on big-assed massive powerplanted cruisers... they could easily all buy geo metros and spend a fifth of what they spend for fueiling all thsoe big cars, but they don't because it's the norm out here...

ever see a european cop car? teeny little things, but they still get the job done, even when surrounded by mercadeses and bmw's and audis...

so does that mean american cops will change? no. they like the cars they drive.

so does that mean american education will change? no. they've become comfortable in the current system - to the point where it's affecting our children's educations.

i don't see any real change coming about for at least another generation, until my and the generation before my generation realize that our schools are pumping out too many kids that are grossly underprepared for the world, while our global neighbors are taking advantage of this. america was once a great nation, but we're quicly becoming the laughingstock of the world with the "quality" of our youth and the inevitable problems they're gonna face when they're presented wto the rest of the world as "our future"
