The Education system in America. What is wrong with it?

This system has been one of the most failed thing that the American public has bought into. The Feds don't give two pennies about the education of our children. Why? Because they want them not to think. If their not thinking then they can be controlled. An uneducated person will not complain, and is kept in the dark about his condition. He has no place in society, and no place in life.
