I love all these -shoot from the hip- solutions. We are a nation of sound bites where rational thinking is becoming a lost art.
The list problems teachers face trying to educate students in the U.S. would bog this forum down to where it wouldn't work. Solutions are few and far between.
A start might be raising kids that can see past the noses on their faces and that there is life beyond texting and cellphones. Most are so out of touch with the real world, they think they are owed a life laying across a chair playing video games all day. Getting them to turn off these contraptions and thinking about their futures would help. Getting them to actually care about becoming educated would make a huge difference.
Rebuilding the family unit, which has collapsed as a vital force of support for kids that desperately need guidance and control. Here, we are paying for the divorces and the live-in boyfriends and girlfriends. What role models we now have for kids. It's ok to 'shack up'. Live for today worry about the future later...
