Free lunches, brain breaks and happy teachers: why Estonia has the best schools in Europe - Lemmy.World

I just don’t understand why not all countries are investing heavily in schools and education. Today’s kids are the future tax payers and citizens. It should be one of the most important things to invest in and yet, school buildings are falling apart, text books are either worn and outdated or massively overprized, teachers are overworked, underpaid and disrespected, staff is never enough, digitalization is nothing more than a hopeful wish because there simply is no funding to implement it, buy the hardware or hire IT experts to introduce and maintain it
It’s cheaper to brainwash them by forcing pledge of allegiance every morning.
Many people seem to have a problem with teaching religion at school, but saluting the flag and reciting the pledge of allegiance are apparently perfectly fine.
And also somehow have no problem with religion even being shoehorned into that
