Dang, TLR. That bothers me so much, because I really do wish everyone had some remotely reasonable liberal arts education, just for purposes of voting and serving on juries and participating in society in general. Not necessarily a college degree, but just some fundamental understanding of the basics, you know? The kind of things kids should be getting by the time they graduate high school, but aren't.
I guess it's not going to happen anytime soon, but I'm not going to stop wanting it anyway.
On a brighter note, this looks really promising, especially for home schooling or home supplementation:
