      I live in the USA. I'm talking about people in developed nations. The richness of a large region only loosely correlates to the prosperity of its smaller regions.

      People have to make decisions based upon their environment. There's no government in the world that can control this fact. The least we can do is acknowledge it and help people make the right decisions within their environment.

        People in developed nations have typically something called school attendance by law. + extra math or whatever they are bad at. (aside from US) AFAIK. That is because they figured out that if kids don't go to schools, they don't get standardized education or any education at all and that often lead to poor country in few gens.
