Build strong children
To the Editor:
Frederick Douglas said, “It is easier to build strong children than repair broken men.” Then why do Americans spend on average $10,500 a year to educate a child and $47,000 a year to keep a man in prison.
If we were truly the greatest country on Earth, we would spend $47,000 a year educating a child so he/she doesn’t end up in prison.
