A Rarity: Improving American Education

I just met a senior executive at HopSkipDrive, an organization with an Uber-like business model, but one that focuses on providing a safe, reliable alternative school transportation solution.  My new friend says that the typical schoolchild might be in foster care, or have some disability that would make him ineligible for the “yellow bus.”

He told me that he feels that he’s making a difference by getting kids to school who otherwise would be missing that opportunity.  I agreed and added encouragement in that he’s helping to buck the trend in the United States whereby the American educational system becomes less valuable with each passing year.
