I wouldn't blame the teachers at public and private schools. They try their best to educate the kids but the kids have no interest in learning. Their parents have not bothered to instill a love of learning, encourage them to be curious and questioning, expose them to the world outside of their little community and understand what's going on in the world. If the parents are apathetic and self-absorbed, so are the kids.

Also, we could learn a lot from Finland.
