Oh and with the education...

Private education worked wonders years before the government ever got involved. Parents would teach their kids how to read and write, and the father would help giving the kid experience in the real world. Most attended private schools and some graduated high school. Many didn't go to college since this was and is not needed. Literacy rates were just as high or higher back then. Extended learning was done at libraries and things of the such and also through experience, apprenticeships. Some were sent to boarding schools.

College is not needed in most occupations today, but it is held in high regard because it is something that happens to be used as a benchmark. It seems weird that the more money the government pours into the schools...the worse they get. The schools teach you how wonderful government is and that the government has saved this country in the past, but who runs the schools? Ask how many people working at the mall have college degrees....a lot of them will, but do you need a college degree to sell shoes or jewelry? Many millionairs realized school was a waste of their time and they skipped it all and went on to make lots of money. Why should the government educate people when it already does a bad job at it. Why is education constantly an issue in politics? It is because the government gets more and more involved in it, screwing it up even more.
