I have heard people say that today's college graduate is about as well educated as a 1950s high school graduate. That's why they draft kids directly from high school into the NBA. <VBG>
LeBron James is educated as he needs to be.

According to Berlinder's research, education system is just fine if you're White. Not so fine if you are poor or not White or Asian.

BTW, UNESCO found U.S. child poverty rate (~24% of population) is terrible in comparison to other industrialized nations. Only Mexico was worse (~30% poverty rate). Denmark had the least poverty (~2% of population). Ya think poverty has any effect on education?
