American educators are idiots

 there are many things in life where the number of losses is greater, but the overall result can be positive by capitalizing on the wins. Stock market trades is an example. More stocks lose money, but by holding stocks longer and letting winners run long the overall gain is positive. In blackjack the player loses more hands, but by counting cards the player can bet more money on winning hands. 

Educators have long said, no child left behind, but the reality is that life is ugly and most kids will be left behind. Rather than spending trillions of dollars on losers, we need to let them get a Walmart job and spend far less on the kids that want it bad, the ones that can do it. It doesn't take much money to educate the best and brightest, just give them a chance. 

Everyone else needs to read and do basic math. They can get a job at 13 years old. At 15 years old they can get married and have babies. Some of their kids will be geniuses, some dolts.  It is designed to not make sense.
