Many folks wrongly assume education is a ship that runs itself. It can’t work if teachers aren’t fully funded, if their students aren’t invested in learning, if their parents aren’t invested in them. ���People are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” We can’t let that be our fate.
people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.
