ANY educational system which does not greatly discriminate on the basis of
knowledge and ability cannot perform even at the D level. You have hit on
the reason why our schools teach so little; they do not discriminate. Even
before the present social adjustment--feel good--be one of the crowd
philosophers took over, there was not enough discrimination, but it
was at least recognized that different children should progress at quite
different rates.
