That and the expanding of the mind thingy.
Where are you getting this stuff? You've jumped off on puzzling tangents at every turn in this thread (unlike all the other threads).

On this board, you can make that case. Look at the kids in HS.
Again, that is not a bad thing to accomplish. However, I can scrape by without further expansion of the mind with being able to do the 3Rs. Life without the 3Rs is going to be difficult.
Point is this. All of the ideas are good. However, before I go beyond the 3Rs, expand the mind, make more prospects for myself, etc, etc, I need to get the basics first. If I am not even willing to get my basics, why do you think extra expenditure to expand my mind when I am not willing to put forth the effort is a good expense? A lot of the kids in HS aren't even able to grasp what they should. As an example, I was doing math and physics in my 3rd and 4th year of HS that we did in my college freshman year.
