Education
I don't think the problem with public schools has anything to do with funding. It has to do with teacher quality, national standards and our overall attitude towards children. If you lock kids up, treat them like slaves, force teachers to teach-to-the-test, numb creativity out of children, force them daily to do things they hate, keep them isolated from real society... Of course you end up with suicidal, depressed, angry, dysfunctional and domesticated teenagers and young adults. New desks, chairs, chalk-boards, books, etc, won't fix any of that at all.
