Can we stop programming our children with No Child Left Behind and start preparing them for independence?
Education is supposed to teach us how to learn and to prepare us to be independent. Instead of teaching socialist theories of globalization, is it possible to have an home economics class that teaches one how to put in a sink or install a new toilet? It costs $190 to have a new sink installed; I had to earn $235.60 to pay for this (24% income tax removed from paycheck). I do not know how to change plumbing pipes.
I am not against hiring contractors, or reading how to repair things myself, but basic repairs course in high school would have been helpful and programming an entire nation to think one way seems like we are creating a society that will be punished for thinking outside the box.
Contrarycrow: both my children went to universities (one economic paralegal studies, the other electrical engineering elementary education- degrees earned). During their time in college, both began developing narrow minded liberal views that insisted America is the root of all evil, and neither could support their new beliefs. I like new points of view, but base it on fact and not liberal retoric.

My own efforts for addressing that kind of problem if it arises teach your kids.
