Friends, things are not as bad as we think with the schooling / university system.
As of last year a new basic school program in math is being introduced in some place in US of A (probably wider than I might think). It is called "no child left behind". I humbly suggest you have a look. I have witnessed this program myself very first hand while visiting our friends in MD last September.
The most ironic thing (as this program can only produce fully debilitated mathematically individuals) was that the space shuttle program has been at its final stage at the same time - the distribution of the space ships between various memorial locations - how sadly befitting.
Here is it pretty much the same. Last year we barely avoided some major setback, such as replacement of Euclidean geometry by our own sets of home brewed axioms based on shape of rectangle (TV screen, computer screen, iPhone, you name it)...
