Where I'm from, I would begin by investing the money in merely getting young people through high school. Especially of color, and other less privileged classes. Beginning with basic literacy and arithmetic. And safe schools. We must pay teachers better. Then we can talk college. Community college here (this year) is now free, including a meal a day for ANYONE who attends. We need early intervention for phucked-up kids; but there's no way all parents want schools to interfere with their PRIVATE "methods" and realities of child raising. And the Pandora's box -- as John Lennon said, "and no religion too." Let's leave that aside for now. Sometimes children become sociopaths and disruptive very young -- and the issues of mainstreaming vs. separating loom large. As does "intervention." The costs of our youth turning to drugs, crime or becoming chronically homeless are greater than the costs of all people not learning about philosophy and sociology at a university. We gotta start younger than universities or we shall surely become a caste system like India.
