The price of failing the not bright kids is we end up with a mob of undereducated people who are unable to function as contributing healthy adults in today's modern society.

It's a hard problem, but I can't fault people who believe public schools should focus on not failing the bottom section rather than accelerating the top achievers.

This is already the case though. I grew up in a “low income” area and whenever I visit my parents I see people I went to Highschool with walking around in the streets.

Something’s got to change but unfortunately I do not have the answer. Hopefully AI will save us all.

It can get a LOT worse.

The problem is they focus on not failing the bottoms section, and also completely fail the bottom section.
