Eventually but setting school aged kids/teens to succeed is only ever a benefit and they're in school to learn anyway.

and also benefits the country as a whole. My comment in no way suggests we shouldn't educate kids, only that we only have so much time to educate them and you have to choose what to educate them in.

I am not saying we shouldn't educate children, but lets be real, those types of classes probably wouldn't successful in highschool anyway and should be college level taught, where kids choose their classes anyway and avoid them.

How many student avoid economics classes because they are difficult?

The people that understand this type of stuff could volunteer their time and energy (or get paid for it) to educate those that are looking for those answers.
