Im not American, so Im not privy to this, but I am aware. It may not have been carried out to the extent that many would like ... but heres something ....
whats the alternative? What do you, as a student see as a correction?

I think theres a political aspect to this as well, because if you look at it stratigicly, most political decisions need that. So.. If you have a society that has a few gifted... but a higher number of lower IQ's, your going to have people with an overall lower income, therefore a lower tax base. If the table are balanced, your levels of education are going to balance out at a higher level, therefore higher trained, therefore higher tax base .... just food for thought...

musicmom ... I cant agree more re parents handing it over to the teachers and saying "here.. teach my kid" ... get off your lazy asses and become part of your kids life !! good point
