OT One huge change in the US over the past 30 years has been the growing inequality of educational opportunity. Forty years ago, institutions like City College of NY or the UC system were nearly free, and offered quality education, as did many neighborhood catholic schools. That's no longer true. CCNY is an equal opportunity junkyard, with 50% of students in remedial programs, while UC-Berkeley or Santa Cruz cost in excess of a thousand dollars (gasp!). The catholic school system is much smaller and much more expensive, as well. Many poor children don't have the access to basic education at the lower grades which was accepted as standard in the 1960s. While the reasons are obvious in many cases (parent neglect, drugs, crime) the children don't even have a foundation to attempt higher education later. Even relatively promising strategies (charter schools, junking forced bilingualism, incentive pay for results) for improving elementary education seem to be lightning rods for the race-class-gender warfare which characterizes most social issues today.
