School spending Right now, we collectively spend about 1,000 times more per student on science,  technoloy, engineering and math education than we do on history and civics. Where civics education is taught, it is often hampered by a lack of consensus about what to teach and how.

Schools Across America, the large mass of kids in the middle – the ones without money, book smarts, or athletic prowess –  were outsiders in their own schoosls. Few others cared about what they felt or believed or experienced. They were the unspecial and unpromising, looked down upon by and almost completely separated from the college-bound crowd. Life was already understood to be a game of winners and losers; they were the designated losers, and they resented it. The most consis- tent message these students had received was that their lives were of less value than others'. Is it so surprising that some of them find satisfaction in a politics that says, essentially, Screw 'em all? Atul Gawande, The New Yorker, Oct. 2, 2017 © 2017 Kwiple.com

Schools When I graduated from high school in 1973, less than two-thirds of black students  attended predominantly non-white schools; by 2018, 81 per cent did. Moreover, the percentage of black students in majority white schools almost halved between 1991 and 2018, from 34.5 to 19.1 per cent.
