    I thought “education is for obedient labor” is obvious enough that I am being sarcastic. 😅

      Oh yes, I totally got that. Your comment about cost and going to another country because education is cheaper really made me think. I had to look it up because I was not sure, and I am still not. I think I did learn some though.

      For instance, Norway spends the most but their outcomes are even better than ours. I think there is something to be said about overspending if you are not getting what you should for your money.

      I also was thinking about parallels like US healthcare where we spend the most by a lot but don’t get anywhere near the best outcomes. It appears US education is not quite the same though.

      It’s easy to fall into the mindset of assuming all replies are rebuttals by default, but that isn’t always the case. Sometimes they’re concurrences, and sometimes they’re just using what you wrote as a jumping-off point to a different tangent.
