Oh, and we need to fire all the liberals. That'll solve all the *real* problems...

Can't wait to see where that will go.

IMHO the educational system is broken before the college level. I leave your statement predominantly with the impression that the paradigm of textbooks and professors is what you think is broken. I'd add to that the need for "college" should almost not exist. The British system is a good example of getting the teaching of the basics of language, higher mathematics, several hard sciences, and early level philosophy in their high school equivalent. While this is being done in some institutions in the US, the vast majority of teens still act/think that high school is about varsity sports and who's having the best party. Flame away!
