40 year investment
I wonder sometimes when we’ll recognize the significance of a 40 year investment. That is what it takes for us to see the dividends of a child today. Their education at five years old changed the landscape of what’s possible, in 40 years. Solid consistent build up of high expectations, critical thinking skills, and elevated literacy and numeracy… what could that do for the world in 40 years, at scale? Can we collectively decide the investment would pay for itself?
