"The best changes you could make would be in the parents- making them attentive, supportive of literacy, and creative thinkers- because a lot of our kids our lost by the time they are born (crippled by their parents drug and alcohol addictions, or ruined long before they start school by hours and hours of TV baby sitting and poor nutrition)."

This is where I see our problems with "education" as well. Schools haven't changed much, but the society outside the schools have changed a great deal. I grew up with a stay at home mom. She was there to help me when I got home from school. That isn't happening today, due to declining incomes for working people.
