I seem to recall someone posting that one effect Perot made to education
was that no one could really flunk, and that the idea was to keep people in
the same grades, if possible. That person suggested that it was not such
a good idea because he wasn't able to tailor the teaching to the needs
of the student, partly because people in one grade (like the fourth) had
to all use the same text for reading.
Of course, my memory could be a little faulty.
