This is going to do wonders for Newt Gingrich's credibility:

Donald Trump said he's creating a program similar to "The Apprentice" for poor New York City schoolchildren, an idea he credited to Newt Gingrich...[Gingrich said] "I've asked him to take one of the poorest schools in New York, and basically offer at least 10 apprenticeships to kids from those schools, to get them into the world of work and get them into an opportunity to earn money, and get them into a habit of showing up and realizing that hard work gets rewarded and that America's all about the work ethic."

It's not clear whether the new program would be developed into a television program like Trump's "The Apprentice" on NBC, which has gone through several iterations since its 2004 premiere.

Newt Gingrich is full of serious, intelligent ideas like this. Why, if we just funded 250,000 reality television programs around the nation, our public school systems would be the best in the world!
