“The schools are lost. “

But education isn't. All it would take is to start pushing online education, video-based education with online back-up, and instituting widespread post-education aptitude testing to prove competence in specific subject matter (and to allow direct aptitude comparisons with those who attend ‘traditional’ venues). Few students in college ever get personal instruction from the faculty, and most of the time college tuition is a fee paid so that one can get legitimate credit for teaching oneself.
