With all the testing that goes on in schools you would think they could test the kids in the beginning of the year and put them in classes based on subject knowledge and ability/needs. I realize some kids do much better with a lot of stucture while some need the opposite. I have decided to home school because I don't want my son placed in an artificial box because he was born on a certain day. I am confused by the fact that we know that our educational system ranks very low in the world yet we do nothing to change it. If it was business, then the government would subsidize studies and retool from the ground up. It seems to me that is what we need in schools!
