You don't believe that the country as a whole (and therefore your life) are better with a more educated populace? This seems pretty short sighted.

What we are doing is failing, because school has become day care for parents in the lower socioeconomic regions.
The machinery of education in this country was s too expensive, and not working.

According to The Literacy Project, there are currently 45 million Americans who are functionally illiterate, unable to read above a 5th grade level, and half of all adults can’t read a book at an 8th grade level. In California, 25 percent of the state’s 6 million students are unable to perform basic reading skills. Without being able to read on an adult level, Americans will never be able to comprehend our other national problems.
