We are behind the rest of the world because our publilc education system has deteriorated so much in the last 50 years that today's bachelor's degree is worth less than the high school diploma of 1959. Guaranteeing kids a public school education through what is now "grade 16" will not reduce the academic deficiency curve. Total reform of public education is what is required.
