As an educator, myself, I feel reasonably qualified to state that lack of education has little or nothing to do with tax base, community size, or poverty level (at least from an economic standpoint).

It has to do with our schools churning out reasonably uneducated educators and parents that don't give a damn.

My feeling is that they have children to satisfy a biological urge, or worse for their parents, and have no real interest in being parents.
