>The basic problem is with the philosophy of all or nothing - saving all kids or letting them all sink. This extreme form of egalitarianism is the product of NEA, which is responsible for most of the ills in schools. Oh, come on, Joe. Public schools have several levels of classes. I graduated from an inner-city school less than ten years ago, and we had Regents-level (average), Honors, Advanced Placement, and remedial classes. That's far from egalitarian. As far as I can tell, that hasn't changed. I took a few Regents-level classes when I couldn't fit the more advanced ones into my schedule, and let me tell you, it ain't the advanced kids being left to sink. -Z
