    However, they also result in the country slowly trending towards irrelevancy

    In today’s economies, everything is about high skill labour. It really is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

  Also they don’t get taught critical thinking skills to understand why things are the way they are and easier to manipulate. That said my understanding of the general US education system is that it doesn’t teach that (or much of it) anyways.

    Easier to manipulate, yes.

    The US education system isn’t monolithic. There are lots of good public education systems in the US. It wouldn’t be the tech and economic powerhouse it is today (was yesterday?) if it didn’t have generally good public education. Part of the reason some people think “the system” is bad is because their particular state/county/district/school is bad.
