Yes to 2. I don't think that the merits of universal literacy need to
be brought up -- an end to compulsory education would mean a return
to the dark ages. 3 follows from 2, and I think 1 also follows from
2. If anybody has any ideas about how to do this without government
support, I'd be happy to hear them.
