>>>It shouldn't be controversial that we need an educated population
Its not, what should be controversial is the manner in which we are educating children. University based schooling is not the only way to obtain education, nor IMO is it is the best
Personal we should be bringing back more vocational studies, more apprenticeships, and utilizing the ever increasing technology with things likes MOOC to bring the costs of education way down.
I also not believe it should take 16+ years of a persons life to educate them.
There are massive amounts of waste, inefficiencies, tradition in education that need to be eliminated.
All of these are made worse not better by the modern belief that every single student should get a degree, and that is the right of every student to have someone else pay for that degree.
We need to fix the fundamental issues in education first, most people however just want to throw more tax payer money at the problem and hope that by making the people in the work force poorer everything will get better.
