Summary:
One credible way to help children born into poverty get out of it is by providing them with a great education. Indeed, the best, high-paying jobs are going to go to the nations with the best-education people. On top of helping solve socio-economic inequality, a quality education also promotes a civically-minded, knowledgable citizenry. Education has become a partisan issue, it should be the opposite. It's also become frayed by lackluster civic engagement.
