“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” - Vladimir Lenin
Mommies should stay at home with children until they are in school. Daddies should go to work and provide for their families. Now to state the obvious: mommies are biological women, daddies are biological men, and mommies and daddies are married.
It’s a great idea IF businesses weren’t so interested in bonus’ and stock buybacks instead of paying their employees a decent wage for one earner to provide for a family.
How about teaching ambition, determination and drive?

Add to that: standards, kids with fathers, and law enforcement against juveniles.
Part of the solution may lie in early child education, but a more immediate solution to growing the economy is restoring strong “trades” education to high schools. This has been dropped from most school systems in favor of promoting college for everybody. There is definite opportunity in the computer field and with companies returning to manufacture in the US for a more robust and modernized trades education in a number of communities and cities.
Decently paid producing workers and moderately paid bosses was the key to prosperty 50 and 60 years ago. The gap between poor and rich is ever growing and will ultimately destroy us.
In my opinion, education for most occupations should start in junior high and continue through school, with an emphasis on continual education. 8-10 hours work and 2 hours education, on a daily basis.
Unless you really are in an occuptaion whete you must have obtained the equivalent of master Status before you ate allowed on the ground floor, there is no reason to not rework occupations to this.
Why don’t we try this: Make K-12 education absolutely free!

This!! This xxx 1000!
In the 70s, we had career week at school where we studied and discussed different professions and trades and had speakers (locals) come in to give 15 minute talks on their career path.
At the end of the week, we completed a questionnaire that was submitted to our career and counseling department (consisting of one lady and her assistant intern) and a few weeks later each student received a response pointing out their strong points and suggesting several career opportunities. Our graduating class was approximately 200 (small rural county). Very few were destined for college and most actually ended up in one of the careers suggested. I know I did.
My career opportunity fell into my lap in the early 80s during a time of high unemployment and I took the job at minimum wage just for the opportunity. I retired from that career just over two years ago (no college degree), after years of good pay, and with a nice monthly retirement check. This was something I thought I would never qualify for given I grew up a poor dirt-road girl and the daughter of two parents who were also dirt-road children.
We need to stop sending everyone to universities for degrees in ——studies that are useless and return to looking for strengths in individuals and directing them on a career path in which they can excel according to their own interests and strengths.
However first, we have to teach them to read and write.
Equitably means blacks will do as well.as whites.
Put black babies in high quality child care while their mothers work ( we hope). The mothers will be able to get better jobs than they have now, starting us on the way to equity.
Their minds will blossom; they will grow up to be engineers and lawyers; the economy will be equitable.
We have been trying Head Start for 55 years, with not much in the way of positive results.
Anyway, where are the high quality teachers for these high quality programs?
How to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear: hire mostly people from the left side of the bell curve, give them 3 months off in the summer, let them knock off work at 3 PM, make it so they can’t be fired, give them gold-plated health insurance and retirement benefits. You will then see many silk purses about town, imported from China.
Around here the Latinos have a neighbor or two that does that. Much cheaper I am sure than suburbs, but how much I know not, nor if such income is reported much. Yet without justify that, it likely costs tax payers less than funding Wok-education day care.
“studies that are useless”
They are far worse than useless. The “studies” programs do nothing but teach victimhood, grievance mongering, protesting, rioting, dissatisfaction with life, hate white people, and hate America. They are designed for weak, pliable, moldable minds and lazy people. There is no professional or trade path for these people other than teaching the same crap to others.
None of these completely useless studies programs existed before the GD government stuck its nose in higher Ed to make it “affordable.”
