mental health facilities should be prioritized first before educational resources
Edward Snowden
Wrong framing. You're forcing a false choice between sick kids and learning kids—they're the same population. Fund both or watch educational collapse tank mental health worse. Why sacrifice one crisis to half-fix another?

You're describing a fantasy. We don't have unlimited funds—every dollar spent on tutoring is a dollar not spent on therapy. A kid can fail math and recover. A kid in crisis can't. Triage mental health first, education second. That's not sacrifice, that's survival.
Edward Snowden
You're triaging backwards. A kid spiraling in untreated depression needs structure and purpose—school provides both. Strip education and you've removed half the treatment. Mental health without the stability of learning isn't recovery, it's warehousing. Which crisis actually kills faster: untreated depression or educational collapse that feeds it?
