If we restricted education to the wealthiest ten percent of our society, and devoted all possible effort to giving them the best possible education, we might well produce greater works than we do today. Would that be a civilized thing to do? Look at the names you cite. Look at the societies they lived in. Were they superior to ours? Do not assume, when answering, that you would have been one of the privileged elite. The basic reality here is that our society could not function without universal access to basic education. Which makes it only reasonable to spread the burden of providing that education across the society. Corporations do not have children to educate. Do they not benefit, when hiring, from the availability of an educated workforce? I'm not saying that it couldn't be done better, but it has to be done.
