But we already are an educated population, and can barely do more, outside of making things fairer outside schools. We are the educated population philosophers and people like Horace Mann imagined. The bar just gets moved.

Never mind that you aren't the person I was asking, and they were just giving a cliché. In this case, it's education to convince others to hire them over just hiring people where they can learn on the job. That's stupid.

With an educated populace we will be able to ensure that our commonwealth will remain vibrant and strong. Our forebears knew this which is why Harvard was founded here and public school was invented here.
