I believe conservatives have no real interest in changing the education system to reflect their belief system because it is an easy tool that they can use to wage the culture war and make their base happy. It's easy to say, "If you don't vote for us, evil liberals will run the schools and they will turn your kids into Muslims and force them to have abortions."
Liberals have their culture war subjects as well, but they don't play the game nearly as well as conservatives. If conservatives really wanted to fix the educational system in this country they could. Clearly, they don't.

im not articulating it quite right.
yes. teachers are valuable, as are scientists.
GOPs tend to value building things as a measure of productivity. Money being one of the biggest gauges of success. so trump, in that way, perfectly reflects the GOP mindset of building things as a measure of a Man. small business owners are mostly GOP. they want minimum govt interference with the chance to succeed.
whereby democrats tend to not value success like this, they value success though how they help others. so jobs like teaching, science, govt. law, are more attractive to progressives than blue collar jobs. they are OK with high taxes out of benevolence of the whole.
but one class is very busy denigrating the other as deplorable, when they both need each other. & that is the liberal ugly that is uglier than trump.
