Well, we've got a generation of K-12 kids who score miserably on international tests, we're about the only country in the world where people in their 20s are not surpassing the educational attainment of people in their 50s, and a major chunk of college students are getting approximately nothing out of their experience, yet we nonetheless think we're pretty fucking great. I dunno, I see a problem with that.
