So lets say that you "fix" the education system.

What does that mean for college enrollments? Do the ~70% of households making less than 50k who were generating far lower percentages of college bound children now boost enrollments for universities?

With a similar dropout rate or lower since education is "fixed" we now have a ton more college graduates. Are there anywhere near enough jobs requiring a college degree to satisfy the demand?

There is a much larger problem than some stock-phrase about education can fix.

I see it as more of a failing of our current economic system if we don't know how to use a surge in the number of college graduates.
