I would add that much of the problem with our educational system exist primarily in urban poverty stricken areas. People don't believe that education has value for kids or in the case of the kids for themselves. Some schools are dangerous - who can learn when the more pressing issue is to keep from getting shot? They have the worst teachers too.

Yet throwing money at it has done nothing.

Trite but true; you can't teach a kid if he does not want to learn.
