The despicable state of the Public School System in this country has recently come to my attention. Did you know that 50% of our nation's children are below the median on standardized tests? How can we ensure our children's futures when half of them are below average? This is a shocking state of affairs, and I insist that the people of this fine country (and others, if they want... I hear the British have a very nice school system...) get together and come up with a plan to improve the future of our nation's children. We need to make sure that the 50% who are below average can raise themselves up to meet and exceed the average. Whatever we come up with should guarantee that 100% of our children are at or above the median.
