It's a shame American primary education can't turn out enough educated Americans to fill the gap.

Not enough parents aren't pushing the kids to succeed and go on. The schools aren't the problem.

The schools aren't the problem? How do you think the parents got into a position where they don't push their kids to succeed? Have you been to an inner-city school? How about a school in Mississippi or South Carolina?

The government defunded the schools and created a culture of anti-intellectualism. Fixing education is just about as perfect a solution you can get to the myriad of problems this country faces.
