After formal education ends, a person can choose to not educate themselves on their own. They can allow years and decades to pass without learning or reviewing science, math, history, and literature. When that happens (and it does), whatever they learned evanesces like the dew on a hot summer morning. One can even forget how to learn, how to think critically, and to have the good sense and humility to know what they don't know--and how to admit it, so they can actually learn. Teachers can't be expected to visit everyone in the country, and make sure they're learning on their own. And, even if they could, they'd never be able to insist that people keep exercising their intellects. What we have in the the U.S. are tens of millions of mental invalids, who can't even take a step, or lift their head from the pillow.
