Carry on!
There is some argument to be made about high-skilled workers. I read a report, didn't save the link from several years ago, where big corporations (Xerox and others) who were complaining that they were not getting any kids coming out of college who were educated or skilled enough to be qualified to work much less take over these large companies in the future.

So, let's not gloss over that we don't have an education problem in America. After all, we are ranked behind a lot of countries in fundamentals.

Look at this graph from 2013 regarding Math, Reading and Science. This is from Business Insider.
