The schools in this country are terrible and parents keep right on sending their kids to them. Get your kids out of public schools or change the schools drastically.

The only way to improve the quality of education is to return to [or institute anew] the rigorous streaming by ability - there need to be several separate and by design unequal educational streams - say, 5: retardees, dullards, normals, brights and the gifted. There ought to be some mechanism for transfer between the adjacent streams - say, based on test results. Otherwise the slowest students in the class will inevitably drag everybody else down to the lowest common denominator. This would require, as a minimum, serious re-interpretation of Brown decision.
