And reconsider the "greater good" of public education as it exists today. When I was younger I believed that raising the education level of more people was good for all of us. I still believe that, but I now can see (have experienced) the dangers in the idea. Like so many "seemed like a good idea at the time" situations, the execution is prone to corruption. The reason is the potential power there is in having control over education. The basic idea of making literacy common decayed into compulsory indoctrination.
