In the US, public schools are so mind numbing that it isn't a mystery why so many college students are uninspiring. They were first uninspired and broken down by the state to meet the level of the lowest common denominator. Everything is for a corporate testing company.

Personally was never in "public" schooling but it still guided all of our courses, but yeah it's a machine. No wonder I rebelled so hard. Even the college I went to has something over 50% of graduates get federal government (or gov contractor) jobs. I think everyone I know and their families from school is government employed.

It certainly creates a massive voting block.

The standard for quality must never be lowered to accommodate The lowest denominator.

It should be about pushing whoever can be pushed towards excellence.
