Why don't many Americans value education...?

Let's all be honest here, Americans aren't very motivated to study or actually learn. I just recently came back from a trip to China. While I was there, I went to the library at 6:30 A.M. and noticed that every seat in the library was filled with children practicing math and learning english! When I come to a public library or a University library in America, it's nearly empty with the exception of finals week. Now, I'm only generalizing, not all Americans do not taken education for granted. But, how is it possible that some Americans are able to talk about sports the entire day, yet they are unable to name the sitting senator of their state or what's really important in current affairs. The young adults these days care about when Lil Wayne will be releasing his album, instead of solutions for better energy.
