with all the money wasted, you'd think they could open one school in each of the boroughs for kids that actually WANT to learn, and let the rest eat each other alive

Someone was on TV when either Comaneci or Korbut did so well in the Olympics. He said the test they gave to the young gymnasts to determine whether the state should train them was very simple: They gave the kids a sheet with numbers scattered on it from 1 to whatever and asked them to connect the numbers from 1 to as high as they could go in the allotted time. One got much farther than all the others, and she got the training.

Motivation, folks.
