[QUOTE="MeanMugginFool, post: 144910, member: 8033"] The problem with the current educational system is that it no longer challenges ALL of the students enrolled in public education. While education funding continues to rise in this country, for the most part it is wasted on initiatives and programs that are either useless or in no way truly measure the aptitude and progress of our students. However, I feel government cannot be completly blamed for this problem, because the largest problem with education has to do with parents and their impact on the administrations of the various schools and school systems. It is hard for a teacher to have a discliplined and challenging atmosphere in the classroom when parents are constantly complaining to the administration about how "My child CANNOT get a C or D, he/she is a veru intelligetn child" or "My child would never do anything like that". The problem I found as an elementary school teacher was that the administration and parents were all consumed by No Child Left Behind and Gateway testing that they geared the classroom to passing these tests, instead of allowing the teacher to give the children a well-rounded education and extra time on certain subjects that were perhaps harder for some kids in the class to grasp.
