"Infrastructure" necessarily includes schools, which at this point are in many cases scary useless.

I feel like "useless" is too kind... plenty of them are actively harmful and dangerous.

Although there's a few bright spots, the stories I hear about the "No Child Left Behind" generation are terrifying.

Standardized testing has destroyed everything and the current education secretary is going to burn what's left of the system to the ground in the name of profit.

Schools are more similar to prisons than infrastructure.
