The ultimate refutation to public education(daycare). Some people are born curious and they have always sought knowledge no matter the cost. https://twitter.com/Mangan150/status/884558805073223681 …
W/out talent, diligence, curiosity more resources useless. Public daycare takes 12 yrs to teach basic literacy better than 19th century?

12 years isn't so bad. Compared to the 19th century, the population itself is vastly more literate and educated, in general.
-
Fewer educated people in 19th century but better talent got education, knowing Latin, ancient Greek considered normal. Quality over quantity
-
Fewer people got an education, and the education they received was poorer. You have a very odd perception of quality.
-
Compare 19th century popular literature, music, rhetoric to now, what impression do you get? And keep in mind 1/4 of US have 16 yrs of edu.
-
1800s music, literature and rhetoric tend to be stuffier. If you have a point besides that, it's unclear.

I dunno is Gettysburg address stuffy? It's just a couple hundred words and formulates philosophy of modern secular state with direct imagery

Stuff most people don't care about, never use in real life, forget as soon as they can. A massive waste of youthful energy and of resources.

Hard to say what "most people" are like, or what "real life" is, or what would not be a waste of youthful energy. As for resources...

Refusal to make judgment calls while asking what the word "is" is. The airy stuff modern society is made of.
