I agree, that kind of rhetoric will never fly.

The larger question in my mind is always this; why, exactly, are we assuming that the GOALS should be identical for each child?

Even if the goals are/should be similar for all children, why are we assuming that the methods of gaining those milestones must be?

What, fundamentally, is public education obliging itself to do for each individual child? Is this furthering those goals? Why/why not?

The answers then become self-evident. wink
