The below charts are likely to invoke a common sense response that the information is something we already understand. Sadly, over sixty years, Congresses have not. Were our education system able to education 100% of our children to proficiency in math, science, reading, writing and history, instead of 25%, our prison populations would decrease by half or more, the marriage rate ( a key index fir poverty would fall), and the cost of our antipoverty system you drop by 90% of 15 years. Sadly, we have done little to actually effect excellence in schools, with parents, and Congress continues to ’tilt at centrally planned windmills’ that produce little effect but cost much.
