A few days ago I posted a thread with regard to public education in the United States. I will post it again, down below the fold.
Now, this, today in The Wall Street Journal:

Read the entire thread.
In the thread, folks taking issue with the article are missing the point.
From AI in response to a query:
Flashback: it was during my third year of college (Sioux Falls, SD) that I spent a month at UC-Santa Cruz with college chemistry professor, Dr Roy Kintner, who was on sabbatical for a year. I went out there with a fellow student, Warren Tsui.
Although he spent 37 years at Augustana College, Sioux Falls, SD, Dr Kintner certainly had a fond spot in his heart for California. I think that month in northern California was the second time that I had been out to California, the first time with friends during Christmas break during my first year of college. [Speaking of which -- keeping a journal throughout my life was one of the best things I ever did. Perhaps my most important journal was one from 1968 to 1977 -- from my junior year in high school to my medical school graduation in 1977 -- eleven years in one journal It was a three-ring journal that one could remove and add pages -- it was a small binder that could easily be carried wherever I went.]
During that time, I was able to visit Pebble Beach and drive the course -- I don't recall if they charged a fee for driving through at that time. Later they did. [I checked my journal for that day: it turns out I picked up two hitchhikers in the UC-Santa Cruz area and they took me to Pebble Beach, got on the course, and actually stood on one of the greens. I had forgotten how I got there.]
That area may simply be the most beautiful country in the world.
I also visited my two great-aunts who lived with their husbands in "identical" cottages next to each other in a spectacular retirement community in Watsonville. Wow, I have just got to do a road trip with Sophia!

I saw a headline earlier but then lost the story. AI prompt led me to the story, and the reply cited two sources that are behind a paywall, Bloomberg and SeekingAlpha.
