Yes, sexymama, its true that more people are going to college and what not.
But thats because there is a large population of students in the country but there are MANY people out there who don't give a shit and many don't even care about high school, seeing it as just the last few years of class.
I always treated high school as just the end of the basic education and I plan to go beyond college.
The fact is, if you compare the US to other nations, many many other nations (modern ones i guess) - the U.S. system lacks a lot compared to them.
I don't remember which one it was, but I think it was singapore or one of the countries / places in Asia where they were #1. Out there, the world, they can get much better results than what we have here.
The problem here IMO is two fold:
a) Money wasted in the wrong places (bureacracy and the system)
and
b) Society - (the negative image of learning, rebellious attitudes, etc.)
