All of society, young or old, kids or no kids, benefit from improved childhood schools. Those are the people that in the future will join the military and protect EVERYONE in the US. They are the future fireman and police personnel. They are your future Doctors and Nurses. They are the CNAs that bring the bedpans to the elderly in nursing homes and hospitals.

For the US to be a world leader, it MUST have a world-leading elementary and secondary school system.
