I've long thought that the only way to break the inner city cycle would be to set up boarding schools well outside the city. Spartan, strict discipline, academically as rigorous as the students can manage. Initially for elementary level students only, too much discipline trouble with the older ones. High schools would be only for graduates of the elementary program that have met the requirements. Open to all, but anyone who doesn't meet academic and discipline rules goes right back to the ghetto.

It should be free. In the long run it will be cheaper to educate them than to pay their doles and keep them in prison.

It wouldn't save everybody, but I think on balance it would be cost-effective.
