It's not clear to me how funding plays a leading role in policies such as "let everyone pass".
Letting schools continue to suck with the excuse that they just need more funding is the sickening anti-education policy.
Yes, an organization that is shitty due to bad policies won't improve, and might become worse, when given more funding.
The easiest way to live in the area as a schoolteacher is to marry an engineer or someone else with a home, too.
