    An interesting statement, and the article below does a decent job of supporting it.

    https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/21/most-kids-are-better-off-with-schools-shut-down-because-theyre-anti-american-daycare/

    At the American founding, when education was a family and sometimes local government matter, the male literacy rate was better than it is today, at about 80 percent. Today, of the 85 percent of Americans who graduate high school, 19 percent are functionally illiterate, meaning about a third of Americans are illiterate or high school dropouts.

    The high school grad of today is about as knowledgeable
    as an 8th-grader from 1966, if that.

    But the idiots and slackers feel SO much better about themselves !

    Well now ... if you cannot send them to a public school, send
    them to a military school/camp for the summer :-)

    Those places have gotten so they cost as
    much as a college: https://tinyurl.com/yapmyck6

    And over the years military schools seem have become little more than nine-month-a-year babysitters for the sociopathic brats of the rich...

    Are there any just over the Mexican border - where they
    can beat the shit out of the sociopathic brats if they do
    not get with the program ?

    That's the way this one used to be, until it came within a hair's-breadth of being sued out of existence following a throat-slashing: https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/a-few-bad-boys/

    I'm somewhat surprised these links are still good after all this time: https://www.houstonpress.com/news/the-few-the-proud-the-battered-6586687

    https://apnews.com/e51d6b5257bdf8d44edcbd2f0e622fe9

    They still haven't gotten over the smear job that "60 Minutes" did soon afterwards.

    Surf the web for awhile and you'll notice that about half of the former
    cadets who attended MMA look back at their enrollment as an enriching, rewarding experience The other half regard it as the commode of their
    lives: https://www.yelp.com/biz/marine-military-academy-harlingen

    As for the slasher, he was given a choice of jail or the military. His
    choice? The USMC, of course...
