Here is a great illustration of just possibly how bad our educational system is. Even if this is just for fun or maybe not, one has to worry that the next generation will have to deal with problems that the last one didn't.

Subject: Graduation in Chicago ( Or many other cities)
That is common from primary school to graduate level. We know that football coaches make more in salary than university presidents.
Graduation in Chicago (or maybe it was Detroit)...
Darqueeze played high school football in Chicago. He was a great running back, but a really poor student.
At graduation, he didn't have enough credits. But he was a great football star and the students held a rally where they demanded the principal give him a diploma anyway. They were so insistent that the principal agreed that if Darqueeze could answer one
question correctly he would give him a diploma.
The one question test was held in the auditorium and all the students packed the place.
It was standing room only. The principal was on the stage and told
him to come up. Diploma in hand, the principal said: "Darqueeze, if
you can answer this one question correctly, I'll give you your
diploma."
"Darqueeze, how much is 3 times 7?" Darqueeze looked up at the ceiling and then down at his shoes while
pondering the question. The other students began chanting, "Graduate him anyway! Graduate him anyway!"
Then Darqueeze held up his hand and the auditorium became silent.
He said, "I think I know the answer. 3 times 7 is 21!" A hush fell over the auditorium - then all the other students began to chant:
"Give him another chance! Give him another chance!"
