Thirty years ago HS grads. could read and write and there was money to pay for the school system.
Today with 'no child left behind' HS grads. struggle to read and write and we struggle to try and figure out how to pay for the school system that has less kids than 30 years ago.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!
