[Thar]

So you're chineese?

Actually yes, my family is a mixture of German and Irish ancestry. We eventually settled in the dirty south of the United States centuries ago.

[Riot]

If people were to think a bit further into this.

In America(usa) the culture of society is controlling the average means of the students. Not knowing any longer that the education system is not the complete resource of its procreation. You responsibility is to educate yourself just like in the good old days of 1776.

It's funny because everyone forgets education is a privilege.

Education should be a right in modern society.

[Riot]

Education should be a right in modern society.

You have this right, it's just your choice will either proclaim a higher standard or diminish you into the glum of society.

[IkeTheGeneric]

Education should be a right in modern society.

'should be' doesn't seem to be driving words in America's education system

We need to encourage excellence, it cannot be forced in the US.

Fun fact: Chinese Children go to school 365 days every year,starting on January 1st to December 31th.

What's wrong with that?

Sure, people are born with more intellectual drives then others, but you just can't be born stupid (For the few exceptions of birth-defects, which I won't be discussing).  People are able to learn as much or as close as others.  You can't ruin another's dream for a perfect world, it won't work.  People will be stupid, people will be smart, people will be average.

And no, I will not be killing others because they are somehow dragging down 'the modern world'.

I've tried explaining that to less intelligent people. They don't believe me.

If you aren't currently intelligent, and don't believe you have the capacity to ever be, you might as well not have it.

EDIT: But I don't seriously believe eugenics is the best solution.

They were obviously not taught the drive to be the best when they work on something.  See, this is a huge problem in a free society, people need to be taught excellence, but at the same time have the freedom not to be excellent.

So a free nation really can't be perfect, it has been tried in America's past, people tried to create Utopian societies, but they just couldn't work.
