It's true. Time and again we hear stories of bright kids being beaten into submission by the aggressive uniformity of our school system.

- Akronymus 5y agoIt is HARD to get the ones who do the worst to work at the level of those who do well. It is "easy", however, to make everyone suck equally as much at school. At least that is my experience. I actually got diagnosed with a high IQ, which I got tested for because most classes were boring to me and thus I didn't really do well. As aresult of me not being challenged much if at all back then, I never really learned how to learn. Thus I slid further and further down with learning until I dropped out. IMO there should be more separation between kids with high and low abilities at school. Push the "better" ones much harder, while also providing specially trained teachers to the "worse" ones. Don't try to get everyone to the same level.
- rpmisms 5y agoDad, is that you? Seriously, that was my father's experience in school, and hence why I was homeschooled, for which I am eternally grateful. My dad is also an SWE and lurks here, so hi dad!
- Akronymus 5y agoI doubt that I am your dad, as I do not have any kids. Also, you are probably older than I am.
