There in lies the whole problem does it not, that the "state" controls education, and does a very bad job of it.
For instance, in the UK my sister is a teacher, and she has been doing that for 20 years, the liberals in upper power state that spelling, whilst teaching English, is not to be judged, marked down for bad spelling, and effectively not taught, hence children leaving school as adults, and having no knowledge of spelling, welcome to the good old UK.
