I completely agree with this. I went to one of the top 10 private high schools in Illinois and I was stuck with a math teacher, for two years, who's job it was to make sure no one got less than a C average. Understanding the material was not a primary concern, making sure no one had an abysmal average was. We had a 99% college matriculation rate to preserve after all. If this is the attitude in an elite school, I can only imagine what it is like in the public school system.
