Establish scools of engineering at the High School level. Use St. Edward in Lakewood, Ohio as a example of real progress in education. Most schools immediately say they cannot do this or afford to do it. That is a lie. Admit that you spend more on your athletic programs than on actual education is the first step to real progress. Then dive right in and do it. It is amazing what students at the high school level are capable of. Most of them are bored with the traditional subjects that trap them in a cycle of classes with no practical application of the math and physical science that they learn. Just pass the test, spew out the answer is not what gets you ahead in real life. Everyone says to think outside the box, but very few do.
