Gene Wade has been dreaming about fixing the public schools since he was a kid. Now he's doing it. But that's what our schools do every day to poor children and to minority children. He's visibly agitated, gesturing with passion, darting looks out the window, and adjusting his monogrammed shirtsleeves as he searches for his words. There's an overwhelming demand for people who are smart, but our educational system just isn't built to make everybody smart.
