I guess the Victorian Industrial based model of public education started off with noble intentions, ie, widespread literacy. Unfortunately, it just became a place to churn out products. In centuries past, if you had money, a scholar/tutor would educate your kids, or you'd hire a governess--IOW, kids were homeschooled.
