It won't help. The real cause is that public school education is so severely underfunded in the US.
- It's not funding, plenty of money gets spent on education. It doesn't matter to kids that don't have reinforcement that education matters. Financial literacy specifically isn't going to help, because it's too abstract to students that aren't working jobs, paying rent, and buying their own food.
  
  Lol, teachers are paid comically low salaries.
  
  Teachers aren't the only thing that costs money.
  
  "Muh administration". Sure buddy, you and your liberal buddies at Fox News got it all figured out.
