Why not improve the literacy rates, then high school graduation rates first?
Improving graduation rates and improving high schools would mean a change in inner city leadership. Getting rid of stupid corrupt Democrats is impossible as they have the high school drop outs voting for them. It serves a purpose to have bad schools. It keeps the low achievers voting for Democrats. Keep in mind that Obama brought in Mr Duncan from Chicago for a leadership in education. How did Mr Duncan leave Chicago schools? Obama, Burris, Jarrett and Axelrode all have a hand in Chicago schools and they took the same thought process to Washington. They care about themselves and not anyone else.
