We spend 12 years to do that for each child… if they can’t be “well educated” in 12 years then it’s time to cut bait.

I have to agree. There is also no one standard of what is “well educated”. There are many Mike Rowe-Type of jobs that require real intelligence. I agree with Mike that we need to change our perceptions.

Not everyone needs a 4-year academic scholarly degree. Business majors seem to be a dime-a dozen and they get out of college and find jobs as retail assistant managers — barely making enough to pay rent and their loans. Many would be happier as plumbers or truck drivers, IMHO.
