Well, we're going to need ten years of Trump as President to do it.

Remember that "black jobs" and the hysteria generated over it? That was both reality and an excellent metaphor. Too many kids destroyed by the gangster factory when they might've been prepared for work to their capabilities and released into the earning class by age 16.

Look--I never could've made it to a college degree. I cannot do algebra. And if I'd been forced into remedial classes I'd've sat there in rage and hatred wondering why I was allowing myself to be tortured. I'm sufficiently prepared for life by being able to balance my checkbook, and unit pricing in the grocery stores has been quite useful.

But the thing is, you need enough parents to care from the get-go. Those 30 schools you cite--how many parents does that add up to even if you count only one parent per pupil?

Every single thing about society's success or failure starts in the home. Fix that and the damn schools get fixed.
