They should also get kids into apprenticeships where they can actually learn how to do something. 90% of the shit they teach is utterly useless - What good is memorizing Shakespeare when you can't balance a checkbook? They need to learn real life skills that will prepare them for something more than winning trivia contests or flipping burgers.
