I agree. Having been a substitute teacher in a public high school, I can attest to the fact that a significant number of the students had no business being there. They learned nothing and actively inhibited others from learning.

I second that...with experience in some of the highest-rated schools in the country.

Let's see if we noticed the same things...constant boredom, complete lack of respect for authority, rampant cheating, and a disdain for learning making it socially acceptable to fail, and thus socially problematic to succeed. Top it off with teachers that constantly lower the bar, and an administration that does not know how to discipline students.

And this was an extremely wealthy school considered "good" by most teachers.
