Education is great, if applied. We took Algebra in Jr. High and High School, I do not use it, so it was a waste of time. People who get drivers licenses have some type of education to get the same, however go to any traffic court house on any given day and see how much in fines are being paid.

Boaters education would be fine, if they can get those that take the course to abide by the education. We have laws on the lake say the 150' rule that is just a common sense law but how many get nailed for that. (I can tell you that it is $58.61 fine)
