Education has never been about learning, wait until you realise that.
Education is more about discipline and teaching how to deal with information.
If you think that a person without education would do well in life you are sorely mistaken, I'd say ifyou have kids yourself you might try it.
Either they will be disciplined by themselves and read up on a lot of stuff or more likely waste their time playing games and doing nothing, maybe take a low level job early in life, like helping at the farm and such.
For example, mathematics at high school is not about learning how to do calculus and all, but about learning to think abstract and solve problems using logic. It's something you can't learn on the streets.
