Part of the trouble is patience and time.

When people look at problems like this, all they can understand is ... give them $1,000 and I want to see the school instantly become a great place that is pumping out Einsteins and rocket scientists by next week.

Very few people understand it as an investment for the future.

It's a lot like the old proverb or saying ...

“Blessed is he who plants trees under whose shade he will never sit.”

When solving big societal problems, we have to be willing to work at fixing things, making them better and solving problems with the understanding that chances are, we will never see the benefits but future generations will.

Our ancestors everywhere and in every culture and race did the same for us. We need to do the same for our descendants.
