"One in five Americans believe that the lottery is the most practical way of attaining personal wealth. "

I think they meant that 1 of 5 Americans think the lottery is the EASIEST way of attaining wealth, which it probably is, aside from inheriting it, which wont even cost you a dollar to buy the lottery ticket.

If most of the people support I.D. being taught in classrooms, then it should be taught, because it is the PEOPLE who's taxes keep the schools functioning.

Nope. From the article I posted above:

About one out of five Americans believe that winning the lottery is the most practical way of attaining personal wealth

If most of the people support I.D. being taught in classrooms, then it should be taught, because it is the PEOPLE who's taxes keep the schools functioning.

If most people support that Pi=3.00, should schools teach that, too?
