I’ll quibble: paying teachers $200,000 an hour wouldn’t solve the problem. Doing well at math just takes memorization and practice, and Americans just think that’s beneath them.

And test prep is fine. For the most part, it’s teaching you intuition about numbers, vocabulary, and logical reasoning skills. I’d much rather my kid drill SAT questions than study half the stuff in the school curriculum these days.
