Studies imply that more than 80 percent of dropouts would have stayed in school if they believed it was more relevant to real life. Learning how to run a small business can help kids see how their core classes aren't just cruel tortures from adults.

Rubio is popular with Republicans because the party recognizes that it needs to do something to attract a bigger share of the Hispanic vote. But Rubio's ultra-conservative views are out of step with the Hispanic mainstream.
