Now this is a disturbing if not obvious fact. To say there's nothing wrong with the US education system is an understatement. And you all have to live there when they're all grown up. Does anyone here think that maybe, just maybe, over 300 billion dollars being spent in Iraq could ahve helped the sorely lacking US education system. Seriously, is it not pure folly? When the US says it's trying to help destitute Iraqis, yet has no money for their own kids at home, something's wrong. Personally, I don't think it will be fixable. The threshold has been crossed long ago, in my opinion. What actions could fix this situation, to make young American kids a bit more educated, or at least able to learn?
