"When more than 1 million students a year drop out of high school, it's
more 
than a problem, it's a catastrophe." - Colin Powell, founding chairman of 
America's Promise Alliance, which issued a re****t last Tuesday that says
17 
of the 50 largest cities have high school graduation rates below 50
percent. 
(from the Boston Globe, April 5th - Quotes of Note)

We can't afford to educate the next generation of NASA employees.  We
better 
figure out how to do that first.  It's about spending priorities.
