Agreed. I think where we differ is, I don't think we should throw money at it. I think the system should be identifying those kids and finding something they are good at. Our education system does a pretty bad job of that, and that's part of what I was referring to earlier about math and sciences. If a kid has that inclination, put them on that track and give them the tools. If the kid is more on a pushing broom track, that's fine, too, put them on that track and give them a broom.

That's going to take a much different approach than we currently have.
