It goes back to the old story of teaching a man to fish instead of giving

could be allowed to assist and teach people as opposed to take care of
people, that would make a difference.


We have to keep trying, what else is there? If kids were better educated in
high school with subjects they applied to daily life (in addition to Algebra
II), that would be a start.
