We are always hearing about the failures of our educational system, particularly to impart the proper skills to the next generation of citizens. But reading such a story recently made me stop to ponder what the real purpose of education in America is and should be.

Then, given that the primary paying customer of education is the government (society), what interest does that paying customer have in the product it is funding?Links:
