This is not a respose to your comment but I am going to add it here instead of starting another Post.

Teaching is not valued because it does not show a Profit. As an example Privet Schools show a Profit, Teachers are better, Teachers get paid more and Students do better.

But, there is more going on then just the above. When Parents pay through the Nose they insist on value for their Money so the Parents pay attention to what is going on in the Private Schools and are right in the School Directors Face with complaints.

In other Countries where someone has to Pay for the Education of Children directly the Parents are actively going to make that Kid study and get as good a grades as possible.

That even works in Public Schools where Parents and Kids come from another Country where you had to Pay for Education.
The other issue is that Private Schools have a higher number of above averages Students to begin with.

It is really pathetic that with all of Mankind’s advancements that at least in the USA we simply do not know how to educate Kids.
