Quality education is a personnel-intensive, time-intensive, low tech project. It involves hours in the classroom, hours reading, hours meeting with students, hours writing or working in the lab. Time- & personnel-intensive, non-sexy stuff. It's been that way for centuries & will remain so.

The fact that society does not seem to any longer value investing in education, at any level of it from K-Ph.D., does not mean that what makes for high quality teaching & learning has changed. It just means we're lazy & greedy, as a society, & don't want to invest in things or do hard work anymore.
