This quote from Bob Herbert’s piece on the work of the Gates Foundation to improve edudation caught my eye

Harvard economists Claudia Goldin and Lawrence F. Katz pointed out that educational attainment in the U.S. “was exceptionally rapid and continuous for the first three-quarters of the 20th century.” And then, foolishly, we applied the brakes and advancement “slowed considerably for young adults beginning in the 1970s and for the overall labor force by the early 1980s.”

And so, how much are we paying here in Estonia to insure that our children are the best educated in the world?
