To be fair, teachers play a role but a rather small role since you cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Does it mean we shouldn't insist on making the teachers better? Not at all. However good the teacher is, we cannot make them fix all the problems of life.
I agree.

In the US People tend to think that if we throw enough Money into a problem that it will get fixed and when we do that we don't want to spend a little more Money to monitor how the Money is used/results.

We do the Same with Laws.
Los Angles County has less then 100 People to check if you are getting cheated at the Gas Station and they also have to do any sort of Scales or other measuering devices. The result of not enough Enforcement is that People right now People are getting cheated.
