Sorry, Andrew, that's true only for the lowest definition of "education."

In one of the first engineering classes I took, the teacher said 
something like "Look at the guys standing to your left and right. They 
are probably not going to make it through this curriculum. Only about 
ten percent of the men who start this program manage to complete it."

And he was right. It's very foolish to believe that everyone is equally 
intelligent, and that everyone can succeed if they just try really hard.

I certainly recall students who were diligent, studied hard, got special 
help, spent tons of time on their work and still failed. I felt sorry 
for them, but if they were not up to standards, they did not pass.
