Yep. I'm fine with the notion of educating everyone to the limit of his

England had a Tripartite System where there was a fork in the education
road at the "Eleven Plus" exams. Basically, your performance at 11 or 12
years old dictated your suitability for secondary education.

As a result, living and workng in England in the early sixties, it was
hard not be impressed with the educational level of the general
population in ALL walks of life.

I thought it was a helluva sensible system ... probably went away with
political correctness.
