To have millions of children borne ready and able to be have their incredibly powerful highly evolved brains absorb the accumulated knowledge of the known universe as accumulated by all the brilliant, unique, one of a kind children that were borne before them - silly of a nation not to give the children all the resources and knowledge the nation can get them to absorb!

Norway has figured that out. There is not a single person dead or alive who has suffered a worse life because of too much education....I would wager.

Norway sees children as the most precious national natural resource, to develop.

America also sees children as the most precious national natural resource, to exploit.

Thank that in part to America's competitive nature, the arrogance that is a part of the culture, and to the high amount of diversity.

Scandinavian countries have small, homogenous populations, where it is much easier for people to care about each other. America is so huge and diverse that it is far easier for people to divide and be against each other and thus not give a shit about the nation as a whole.

need Americans to be as divided and as ignorant as they can get them...Politicians? Corporations buy them by the dozens...

If Americans were educated and worked together, the current clusterfuck, er Congress, would never have happened...
