Is it necessarily a "better" education just because it costs more? Teach a child a skilled trade and you'll make him better "educated" than forcing that child to endure some government indoctrination center where he will most likely leave still not being able to read much more than a newspaper and still not being able to find where a major city like New Orleans is on a map.

Unlike you and your socialist buddies, I have no silly illusions about humans all being equal in capabilities or about how giving everyone exactly the same education is somehow going to magically improve even the village idiot (the MBA from an Ivy League university certainly didn't help America's current President).

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
