So poverty is the big determiner in academic success. So get rid of poverty and you will get better educated kids.

Real simple and in a country this rich a crying shame we don't do it!

We agree on this. It is as simple as ending the war on jobs that the progressives have been waging since WWII.

The way to create more jobs is to stop the government from interfering with the free market directly and to mandate that the government protect free market activities.

Get rid of the government supported and mandated unions, get rid of minimum wage, get rid of affirmative action, hobble the EPA. Eliminate the DOE, stop the war on coal and other fossil fuels and of course, kill obamacare before it gets started.....do a few of these things and the demand for jobs will go through the roof. This country would go through phase of wealth creation that is unprecedented.

And finally, encourage school vouchers for private schools and encourage the formation of charter schools. This will provide competition to the public schools so that they will be forced to provide a better product (education) in order to retain students.

It really is a crying shame that we don't do the obvious things to help rid the world of poverty and to promote quality education to the children.
