text: My advice is focus on the achievers, the kids who want to work hard and are interested in getting a good education. Stop wasting time and resources on the kids who think doing well in school is for suckers. The losers can learn how to read and maybe get their GEDs in prison. Nobody ever asked a guy selling weed on the street corner if he had a high school diploma. The achievers are the ones who'll shape the future of Alaska. So that's where the resources should go.
