"What we need is kids that can think outside of the box, not get 3000 points on science tests."
What you're doing is comparing risk-taking to fundamentals. I would argue...why can't we have both? Isn't a better-educated population always better for the society?
"There's no markets in other countries too."
Except there is. In Belgium, government funds education -- at many different kinds of schools -- but if a school can't attract students, it goes out of business.

What kind of educated population you wanted? What is the fundamental? You may want some basic mathematics and grammar, and maybe some courses in logics. Science? That's a maybe to me. You want to make an educated person in politics and governance too? Good luck with that. Government teaching civic education is like a criminal in jail teaching kids what's the law of the land is. Beside, doesn't government plan the educational system? You gotcha do this and that or else we pull your educational money away.
