> I would fund Asia-style 'cram' academies in disadvantaged neighborhoods and make them free Cram schools are laughably useless. Works well at a national level with a large enough population but they are really a side effect of the intense competition and pressure for the few decent university spots available in Asian countries (per capita). It's basically optimized to pass a test, not learn, and heavily rewards rote memorization.
