This couple, high school sweet hearts, with 10 kids should be put in
charge of our education system. Dump the system and start over with
what ever methods they are using.

Spoiler alert, 7 of their 10 kids were in college by age 12.

Sounds like self-education is a big part of their success. Plus, they
picked up on interests and encouraged them. That makes education easy.

I think the key issue is that the parents are doing what a majority of
parents are not doing, taking an active role in their children's
education way beyond simply sitting back and complaining.

And helping develop the kids interests instead of being a baby sitter
and throttling back to the lowest common denominator.

We are getting out of our teachers what we are paying them.
