If at some point in our history our forefathers had not envisioned public education and went about trying to execute such an irrational idea as educating every individual in America. Most of us wouldn't be sitting here reading this, their success is a testament to America's willingness to do better by its people. The sheer audacity America brings to the table is America's strength, by being outlandish and investing in our children earlier with universal Pre-K, than maintaining that investment longer into the college level. We can produce a better educated workforce, a better educated population, and a better future for our children. American should not just be happy with the education system they have now. We should be attempting to improve it, I don't think the status quo is ever good enough, there's always room for improvement in a manufacturing setting I would call it continuous improvement. anybody that will tell you we should go back to the old systems; It was fine the way it was. Well, they didn't actually have any contact with the system or if they did it was so long ago that it was actually an okay system.
