I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.

I'm old enough to remember when the air over American cities was a lot dirtier than it is now.

Not only was coal used to generate electricity, it was without any scrubbers in the stacks.
