It is no surprise that education in the United States isn't what it should be. I suggest the immediate removal of T.V shows that lack any intelligence at all. Children that watch weekly TV programs such as TLC's "Here comes Honey Boo Boo" will more than likely adapt characteristics similar to that of the young childhood "star" and believe me, nobody wants that to happen. I suggest similar actions with that of MTV's "Snooki & JWow". If we want education in this country to peak again, we need more television programs that actually promote intelligence, and intelligent humor... such as TBS' hit sit-com "The Big Bang Theory".
Basically: No more pointless TV. It's not asking much.
