The PC philosophy of our educational system, plus every parent wanting their kid(s) to be a potential PhD does disservice to our society and economic well being. Europe used to have a two part education system - maybe still does, I don't know now. Students were tested, and those with academic aptitude were channeled that way. Those tending toward vocational were channeled in that direction. Always seemed to me the common sense thing to do. When you consider maybe three quarters or more of people make their livings in small business/vocational, the emphasis on the academic route doesn't contribute to efficiency in the work force.
