OT to Mark Konrad: Your post explains why there are an increasing number of parents who are resorting to home-schooling as the most effective means of educating their children. As an aside, one of the hallmarks of the NYC public educational system from Grade 1 through high school as I knew it (1958 through 1967) is that students were repeatedly tested as to IQ and achievement and grouped together in classes accordingly. The brightest students and the ones with the highest aptitude were kept in one class or group and the least accomplished students were grouped together, with numerous classes or gradations in-between. In this manner, the academically-inclined students were permitted to move at a rapid pace without the usual disruptions and behavioral problems associated with public schools while the students without any interest in school were kept together in classes that functioned as "baby-sitting". Nowadays, this would be considered elitist and would certainly result in a law-suit. However, it gave an excellent public school education to those students who wanted one, without fear of being stabbed or beaten up by delinquent students.
