Bill is hyperbolic during his segments, but using the fact and the funny he points to many flaws in how a nation can perceive itself and some of the myths people can embrace.

Do you really want to know what is wrong with the American education system? It’s the parents, and the conditions which exist in the homes of the children. The parents have roughly 5-6 years to mold the values, curiosity, personalities, and attitudes of the children. More parents are disillusioned, have more economic difficulties to address personally, and thus do not have as much energy or time as parents in the past to deal with the issues affecting their children. People change when they are sufficiently motivated to change. With so many unmotivated parents out there, why should we expect the kids to be motivated? By the time they reach grade school, they are complicated human beings and the education professionals are faced with major challenges.

I would have to agree, social and personal well being are so very dependent on societal factors. It always boggles my mind that governments think that they are somehow saving money when they decide to cut social programs as the results almost always end up costing society more in the end.

Just as baffling is when there are parents who expect teachers and the government to do their job for them.
