I agree with {p2p}.
Our education system is horrible. There have been several attempts to revive it but it is dead. I wish that I knew something to help it out. But I cannot think of anything. But that is the problem. No one bothers to change the sh*tey system just because "it works now. doesn't it?" But what people neglect to see is that they have nothing to compare our educational system with. That is like talking about one copmuter's performance without knowing anything about what is on the market and any of the technologies out there. Or for that matter of any other computers at all. I think it is very sad that the main reason they don't change it is that either "it works now" or because "that is the way it has always been, why change".
