Your plan would not work with the social dynamic.

Keeping advanced studies from middle school and High Schol would do nothing to help us, as evidenced by the FACT that people such as myself were learning algebra in middle school, and calculus in High School.

Privatization is a pipe dream, unless you want a bunch of people that only know how to network using MS, or who now owe their parents life savings to Merck.

Elimination of sports in a species such as ourselves would not do much more than prompt other compeditive arenas which might not be healthy to social and academic development.

The arguement presented SOUNDS very erudite and well spoken, but when the individual items are examined, it does not present much of a workable solution to the current situation we are experiencing in the united states.

It is a designed philosophical debate piece that does not focus on the reality of the situation. Things such as "science" are stuck on as an afterthought in the list of subjects to be taught after HS level.

If you want to restrict learning to that king of program, you should take a look at countries like China. They sound awfully familiar, and both would be excelent at controling the people and what they know, think and believe in their adult lives.
