  4. THE ECONOMIC TRUTH IN SEQUENCE • If children don’t come to school “ready to learn” and consequently don’t finish school, the public school system fails… • If the public school system fails…all of the other public systems are overloaded and fail… the health care system fails, the mental health system fails, the corrections system fails • If the public systems fail, the drag on the economy is immense… with less skilled workers, less productivity, higher unemployment, more crime, and higher taxes to pay for higher costs to run the already failing public systems

SIMPLE: 1) The wrong people are trying to fix the wrong things the wrong way with the wrong interests at heart 2) The “supposed to be leadership” people are trying to fix things in the wrong order …with a good faith effort 3) The right people are working really hard in the trenches, watching it all happen, and having no say
