    Look at how Chinese are approaching education and you can get an idea on how to do things at scale.

      China is ethnically and culturally homogenous for the most part. That has a large role in the success of running social programs at scale. Also I’m not sure we should look to China for inspiration on social policy, they are notoriously authoritarian.

        By whose authority, though?

        I mean. There’s governments out there committing genocide despite the overwhelming population of the world being against it.

        What does authoritarianism even mean, in that world we live in?

      Lol let’s not suggest that the Chinese have cornered the market on education.

      If you want good education, look at Finland or Germany.

        Should wealthy people be allowed to buy education to differentiate themselves from everyone else?

        There’s a reasonable argument for not allowing a market of education. And apparently that example is creating reasonably good education at scale 5 times bigger than the US.
