Hmm... Maybe instead of recruiting high school kids to go die in land grab wars the government should be recruiting them to become lawyers and legal clerks. Don't wait for the upper class to produce educated literate people; the upper class don't produce many kids because it's far more profitable to park money into the stock market than to spend it raising children. Not enough educated literate kids? Pay educators more. Teaching should not be a fallback afterthought.
