Breaking The Standard

“To many, education is seen as the catalyst by which society reaches knowledge, but more and more the typical standards of education do not allow people to reach such knowledge.”

-Nathan Tracy, ex-student

Will someone please explain to me why it is a good idea to assume that some children are more “intelligent” than others, and then ship them off to “special schools” where they can get the best education possible, with the best teachers possible, leaving the other “normal” children in the dust. I don’t get it and I certainly don’t think it is fair, or beneficial for that matter.
