However, I was curious why you made these bold claims, and I think you provided an answer: you have not yet found sufficient evidence to change the opinion you formed from anecdotal accounts. I suggest you search in the following areas to gather more evidence about your claims:
Claim 1 - Educational achievement data
Claims 2, 5, and 8 - Economic data
Claim 3 - Government budget data
Claim 4 - Polls
Claims 2, 6 - Not sure. Change in average IQ scores of those studying to become a teacher?
Claim 7 - Court records
Claim 9 - Investigative reports
Claim 10 - Not sure. Probably an economic paper on this.
Furthermore, you believe that taking any action is better than the current status quo. I cannot say with certainty this isn’t true. However, I believe things could be worse, so I don’t believe any change is guaranteed to yield an improvement. The patient might not be dying, and an inappropriate treatment could kill him/her.
I am not looking to win.
