Our education system is legitimately awful, taken on the whole. You seem clueless so I'll just assume you have no idea what you are talking about. Great point though!

The education system encapsulates way more than just our higher institutions, which, AGAIN, are an unrealistic possibility for literally tens of millions of people.
A solid, affordable public university does no good for the millions who simply can't get in because their elementary/middle/high school education didn't prepare them properly and/or can't attend because even if you call it affordable, a mom with 2 kids literally can't swing 5k every 6 months. But hey at least they exist!
And our non-higher-education is a legitimate joke, all things considered.
