America is going down the toilet unless it completely rebuilds its education system. Education is primary, nothing else compares.

By ground up I mean curriculum, methods, grading, classrooms, mediums, etc. Khan Academy.org is a very refreshing step in the right direction. I am learning everything in math while I eat breakfast and before going to sleep - from someone who always hated school, and was especially poor at 'grasping' math the way it was taught.

Learn how to learn, injecting a love of learning, independence. Our founding fathers would be crying if they say how schools were being run these days.
