The article discusses a group of uniquely run public high schools called the Bard High School Early College schools located in New York City and Newark, NJ, which have received substantial backing from science investor Jeffrey Epstein. These schools are not charter schools but operate with the efficiency and success of one, focusing on academic records, writing and math assessments and an eagerness for ideas and learning. Unlike charter schools, they provide an entire high school curriculum in just two years and then two years of college level credits, resulting in a 95% rate of graduates moving on to four-year colleges. The schools have been cited as a public education role model by President Obama.

He also addresses issues such as intelligence, university restructuring, and the negative impact of the best universities on public schools.
