Should the working class Americans spend some time on learning about foreign countries and acquiring foreign languages in lieu of getting familiar with domestic rock bands?

Maybe the cultivation system of the PUBLIC primary and PUBLIC secondary schools of the U.S.A. is really a big excruciating failure. I know, I know, education of minors unavoidably involves some disciplining, which sort of counters the individualism and freedom that Americans, inherently governed by Anglo-Saxon values, cherish greatly. It is a conundrum.
