Is school the appropriate place to try to cure all society's ailments though?

Empirically it doesn't seem to have worked, even if you think it should be attempted.

But I'm skeptical that it's even wise to attempt. Education isn't the same thing as moral instruction. We want secular schools not pseudo-churches.



1. It needs to start somewhere. 2. Schools have been shown to cure some of society's ailments. One example is providing free pre-k education. Check out this infographic http://www.urbanchildinstitute.org/resources/infographics/pr...

IMHO more money needs to put in education.
