Make all children work in sweatshops til their 12 years old. 14 hours a day, 6 days a week. For peanuts, literally. On the eve of their 12th b-day, remove their choker collars long enough to decide: a lifetime of this, or go to school and do well. Tick tock, tick tock...
I'm sure they'll make the wise choice.
As for teachers...performance incentive bonuses. Tax funded...or sweatshop, whichever.
