This is a formula for creating those most medicore, useless people in the world. Unfortunately, it's perfect for a service industry based workforce. This guy has his pulse on the grim future of America.

And what if you have students who may not be all that great at grammar, the arts, etc. but are stellar at mathematics? Just let them add and subtract until they get blue in the face or let them do something more worthwhile and productive with their skills? I think future engineers might need a bit more than good grammar skills to produce quality results.
Look at our good buddy, IP. He cant spell for shit, but he's kicking ass in Calculus and will be 'TEH MASTAR ENGINEER' in a couple of years due to that.
I agreed with you until you started writing the second paragraph.
good points...

NICE TRY, GERMANY. NICE TRY.
Make the dummies marginally more intelligent at the cost of the people who hold the country together?
Wow, my Subway sandwich will be made that much better while the rest of the God-damned country goes to hell in a handbasket. This new plan sucks.
People who get nothing out of the school system either aren't going to get anything out of the school system, no matter what you do, or they live somewhere that needs better schools. Your plan won't make those schools better, it will make the good schools worse, and at best will make the bad schools stay the same.
The answer doesn't lie in making it easier to get through school, it lies somewhere in teaching people to be better parents that put more emphasis on education. When kids outgrow the education system that they are a part of, you either provide programs for those that are gifted or send them elsewhere.
Where do you work?Quote:

PS: Some of the smartest, most articulate, successful people I know aren't scholors. Some of the dumbest people i know got straight A's throughout school. There is a lot more to being smart than good schools.
