i fully understand. special ed students aside, our school district has cut back on advanced classes for smarter children so they can spend money and effort on the children with lesser intelligence.

The school has to push the students with less capabilities because these programs insist that NO CHILD be left behind. Since the bright students will not have any problem being mediocre, the school had better spend their time and money on the lower kids.
