The essential benefit of a quality education is the person has learned how to learn ... the Greeks nailed this by teaching the trivium : grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric ... armed with this educational foundation the person can listen, speak and write on any topic ... how ? because they have the skills to teach themselves ... this approach to education was used in the West for 2000 years - up until about 1900 ... outsourcing education to the government which has conflicting rewards and motivations has resulted in our current malaise

Time is precious so staying in mandatory education until a person is 18 is criminal and counterproductive for many children ... a resurgence of quality trade schools is happening and we as perspective employers need to step up and hire based on a real time assessment of those trivium qualities not on bloated automated parsing of CVs
