Same problem here in our school district (state). We also (our school district) aren't giving "the middle" enough opportunity to excel. We're all here as parents of exceptionally gifted kids and therefore see these problems in the light of our children's challenges, but fwiw, even though it's on a less radical level, kids of average intelligence and ability in many schools aren't getting the challenge they really can fly with.
