What if we took the current or prior education system between 2009-2011 or 2011-2015 or 2015 - 2016 earliest or little of late and we took it into the US and made every one go through it during the 1920? the population of the US during the 1920 was around 102 million people or so or maybe 106.5 people. If every one who was alive during the 1920 - 1940 or 1945 finished and was put through to college by 1950 or 1960 the latest what do you think the population in the US would be like right now? the current population of the US as of 2016 and probably in 2017 is like 2017 is around 323.3 million people.

Do you think the options are:

1) It will keep as it was as of 2017

2) It will double to 636.6 Million by 2017

3) It will shrink to 2.5 Million by 2017

If the population was to shrink to 2.5 million by 2017 in this alternative world where the education system of the current world between 2009-2015 or to middle of 2016 was put to the 1920 of the alternative US and was made so every one all the people alive between 1920-1940 or 1945 went through it by 1960? so earliest is 1970 when every one completed college?

What would you rather have? a population of 323.3 million or 636.6 million where no one has critical thinking skill and was not put through a well rounded education and the college intensive and college rigorous education. Or a population of 2.5 million where every one has critical thinking skill and was well educated with a college intensive n college rigorous education along with the well rounded education prior to and then again in college but every one looks like cave man in cave man cloth with no technology period kind of like the poster to this movie:

Would such technology as the iphone currently, cars the way they look, planes the way they look, computers, infrastructure, and so on would still look the way they look or exist if the population hypothetically shrink to 2.5 million?

What do you think the hypothetical scenario of the US's population by 2018 would be if we took the education system of 2009-2015 or early 2016 to 1920 n got every one to go to it by 1970 by 2017?

Wow, this is over the top. The population would still grow like crazy even if everyone went to higher ed, cause the majority of the US's growth in the last 50 years has come from immigration not replacement birth. Also our population would never go down to 2.5 million in just 100 years. Would take quite a bit longer unless people stopped having kids completely. And believe it or not, even if everyone goes to college we still need ditch diggers, and as far as I can tell most college students can't critically think worth anything. If everyone went to college we would delay many inventions that where made by quite famous college drop outs.

So your scenario is silly. But you already knew that.
