So true! If a child's parents are either unwilling or unable to finance the education of their children, all the better: we still need hamburger flippers and people to mow lawns. For these people, the lack of an education is a blessing. For the vast majority of people, they should be able to learn all they'll ever need to know in the home -- where education should begin and end.

Bit of a fly in the ol' "quarter pounder" there, Irked. Our present government-controlled system is already producing a vast surplus of workers who, with a little extra on-the-job training, can fill these job slots.;-)
