> Dunno where you got this "ideal".
I wonder if people like you just lack the imagination or system thinking or equate poor with useless or are just afraid of thinking people? From the perspective of the state and the society it’s beneficial to have an educated population, unless you think you won’t have enough stupid people to man the factories?
The track record over the past thirty years of sending more and more people to nominal "college" as "a way to have more thinking people" hasn't exactly done wonders, unless you're in the student loan servicing business.
if you have a "college" where "students" go to "learn" you get "thinking people".
what I'm saying is only relevant when you drop the /s quotes.
