You are correct, that was a flaw in my process.

If a child makes it from K to G12, that is 13 years of school. Checking a quick chart showing the number of enrollment in schools from in the 80's and 90's, enrollment was lower. Once it hit 2005, it is between 49m-51m. If we cut the percentage in half to and round down to 0.3%, my statement of the 4x magnitude still stands.

Thank you for considering, checking and bring up that misrepresentation in my previous number.
