I think as a corollary we must invest heavily in public education (and I don't mean just throwing more money at it) I went to shitty schools in shitty places but my parents always were tough on education and basically forced me to be "smart". You can't ever guarantee that someone's parents are going to care, but you can provide them an environment that cares and educates them effectively for 7 hours a day.
