I understood that statement along the lines of a "broken" economy(for example), would mean an economy like the one in Zimbabwe. With that understanding, you can't call the american education system "broken". If, on the other hand, you call the current american economy "broken", then I would see your point that the american education system is also "broken".

My point was that calling the American education system as broken as the zimbabwean economy was nonsense. But that wasn't what you meant.

My second point wasn't a statement, it was a question intended to further debate and an opening to help you along the way to understanding my point/position, which instead ended up being dismissed without being explored.
I forgot to edit out all the parts I wasn't responding to. I am planning on furthering discussion on what you said, but I am busy at moment. I will post again about your opening later tonight.
