Once 8 years of education was sufficient. Radical to other civilized (ie European) nations was what America pioneered - 12 years of education. It created what the world had never seen - major innovations on a scale unmatched in history.

Making standard 14 years of education is only expanding on trends mostly pioneered in America.

We know from history that world leading nations invest more time in education. This expansion to 14 years is consistent with previous and proven trends. To say this is harmful is unjustified by facts - is supported here only by speculation.

If expanding a standard education to 14 years is harmful or destructive, then some facts must exist to contradict trends proven by history.
