“37.7% of Americans aged 25 and older had a bachelor’s degree or higher in 2022”
Highschool gives you just enough education to be a good factory worker. That’s what it was designed for, and we can’t expect more than that.
That isn’t to say that the other 62% are stupid. Far from it. And maybe some had the free time and money to get education outside of a university. But at least half of Americans never got past the 101 version of anything.
Highschool in the U.S. is still better than many highschool systems in a lot of countries out there.
Higher education in the country I grew up with was really good. But highschool compared to the U.S.? We were far behind. Yeah, yeah, this is anecdotal.
But you said it yourself, having no formal education doesn’t mean being an idiot.
