I think all education is what you make of it. I've seen some brilliant results from public education and some really shitty results from the most expensive private education.
It all comes down to attitude in my opinion. that of the student which generally is imparted by the parent.
I also believe education has changed a lot since the generation of schooling you and I went through. Schools have far more leeway now with how and what they teach and where the focus is. I suppose if you went to a school which focussed on different issues, you might come up with a different education, or if you have a teacher who encourages you to look at things from a different perspective.
Holding a very similar viewpoint as PH, I have to say that I don't think his education can be blamed. He's certainly presenting his argument very well in my opinion. I wish I had half the patience he has and a quarter of his doggedness.
