They’ve grown up online. So why are our kids not better at detecting misinformation?::Recent studies have shown teens are more susceptible than adults. It’s a problem researchers, teachers and parents are only beginning to understand.

I think you mostly get out of education what you put into it. You don't need a ton of resources to educate someone who is intelligent, wants to learn, and is willing to put in time and effort.

If someone doesn't care or isn't interested, more money allows for more resources to be allocated to working with that individual. More resources may improve that person's education compared to what it would have been without those resources, but it doesn't necessarily mean that their education is superior in quality relative to others because it consumed more resources.
